Snack-lovers Also Enjoy Free Popcorn with All Delivery Orders

TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2022 /CNW/ - (TSX: CGX) – In honour of the tastiest holiday of the year, on January 19 Cineplex is offering a free bag of popcorn to Scene+ members, where theatres are open and serving concessions. Popcorn lovers in other provinces can take part as well by placing a home delivery order for Cineplex snacks and automatically receiving a bonus bag of popcorn. There's nothing better than the taste of Cineplex's freshly popped, fluffy, buttery goodness while enjoying a movie anywhere, especially on National Popcorn Day!  

"Celebrating National Popcorn Day has become a tradition that our guests look forward to every year," said Sara Moore, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Cineplex. "We're thrilled to be able to offer free bags nationwide to celebrate the day and spread the joy, as our freshly popped popcorn goes hand-in-hand with escaping into a movie on the big screen or at home."

To score the signature snack, ticketholders can visit any Cineplex theatre across the country, where open, and scan their Scene+ membership card or barcode using the Scene+ app. For more information, guests can visit Cineplex.com.
