Cineplex Canada just dropped its $3.99 movie lineup for October

Sep 29 2026, 1:49 pm

Fall is officially here, and Halloween is just around the corner. To celebrate, Cineplex Canada has a new lineup of budget-friendly movies you can catch at your local theatre this October.

Canada’s largest cinema chain has undergone a few changes as of late, including a new CEO (Landmark Cinema’s Bill Walker) and a strategic review which “will consider a range of alternatives, including, but not limited to, a potential sale of the company.”

But it’s “business as usual,” the company tells Daily Hive, and this means the continuance of its monthly Family Favourites, which moviegoers can watch in theatres every Saturday for just $3.99.

If you’re the type to plan ahead, you can buy your tickets online, a process that includes a $1.50 fee for advanced seat selection and shareable digital tickets. This applies to the first four tickets purchased in a transaction.

Scene+ members only have to pay a $1 online booking fee, while that fee is waived for CineClub members. Ticket prices are subject to applicable taxes.

Check your local theatres for showtimes and catch these family-friendly movies in October.
