Cineplex Brings Back $5 Movies This Labour Day Weekend
If you’re looking for something fun, simple, and affordable to do this Labour Day long weekend, Cineplex has come up with a pretty sweet deal. For just two days—Saturday, August 30, and Sunday, August 31—movie tickets at participating Cineplex locations, including Galaxy Cinemas in Orillia, are being offered for only five dollars. That’s right, five bucks to catch a movie on the big screen.
Now, there is a small catch, but it’s not a bad one. If you prefer a premium movie experience, like IMAX or VIP, the basic $5 ticket can be upgraded for an additional cost. Even so, it’s still a chance to see a film on the big screen without breaking the bank. On top of that, a small popcorn will also be sold for just $5 during this promotion. Taxes will still apply, but when was the last time you could walk into a theatre and pay this little for both your seat and your snack?

There is one detail worth mentioning: if tickets are bought online instead of in person, there’s a digital booking fee. That pushes the online price up slightly to $6.50, but for many people the convenience is worth it. Either way, it’s still much cheaper than regular admission.
Cineplex isn’t just running this promotion for fun. A portion of the proceeds is going toward The Canadian Picture Pioneers, a charitable organization that’s dedicated to helping people in the motion picture industry. So in a way, every ticket purchased is also supporting the folks who make movie-going possible behind the scenes.
What’s nice about this event is that it really feels like a throwback to a different time, when going to the movies was a casual weekend activity that didn’t require planning around high costs. With summer wrapping up and kids heading back to school, this promotion gives families, couples, or even solo movie fans a low-cost way to celebrate the long weekend.
Think about it: for the price of a fancy coffee, you can step into a theatre, escape into a story on the big screen, grab some popcorn, and enjoy that collective movie-going energy that just doesn’t translate when you’re watching at home. Whether it’s catching a blockbuster you missed earlier in the summer, revisiting a favorite, or just enjoying the magic of the big screen, this deal is hard to pass up.
So, if you’ve been itching for a night out, or you just want one last summer activity before the fall rush kicks in, this might be your chance. Cineplex is opening the doors, dimming the lights, and rolling out $5 tickets—but only for two days. If you’re interested, it might be wise to grab your spot early before seats fill up. After all, when the credits roll on this long weekend, the deal disappears with it.
