Landmark Cinemas Ontario - reopens July 31 w/$5 tickets, $2.99 Tuesdays

Should be noted - at this moment, Cineplex is restricting to LESS people per auditorium than Landmark. Most Cineplex theatres I looked at have 25 seats per auditorium while Landmark are closer to 50. (This may change but at time of posting it is the case)

The sad part is , no new releases

I would risk 2 weeks in the ICU to watch Tenet in IMAX.

Except in a few weeks the small very low budget film that no one has heard of - Tenet

Promotes distancing.

All old movies, which is expected.
I notice they will play The Dark Knight and TDKR IMAX versions at the Whitby location....anyone know how the IMAX screen/projection is at this theatre?
Is it true 70mm IMAX projection (like Scotiabank Theatre Toronto, Ontario Science Centre or Square One), or is it Lie-MAX (like, well, pretty much all other IMAX theatres)?

I am tempted to watch movies again, since its one of my favourite things to go do, especially IMAX movies. But I'm really covid conscious too. Decisions...

bump for first $2.99 Tuesday today since COVID closure

Cineplex too but that thread got locked after getting derailed

Cool, dude!

I don't get out to the movies much. Does anyone know what exactly "digital 2D" means? Does this mean they are just playing an equivalent of a blu-ray or is it actually projected on 35mm film? I'm interested in seeing Lord of the Rings, but I don't think I'm interested in seeing it if it's not on an actual film reel.

Cineplex is now allowing near capacity----48 seats available at Cineplex Yorkdale. People are going-- last night the 2 showings of Invisible Man sold out for $2.99 Tuesday

Does that mean Tenet is good or not lol? Anyway 40-50% with COVID in the ICU don’t make it, those that do continue to live with symptoms. The call center study is a good example it’s droplet aerosol driven rather than fomite. Not telling people not to go but don’t be that reckless non-mask wearing 20y old patient I had, in denial after a positive swab, and spread it to their multi-generational family, among who knows.

Best movie of the 20th, 21st and 22nd century.

I've never even been to a landmark cinema before. I might go this Friday or Saturday. Think it'll be busy on the weekend?

Putting “digital” in front of 2D is still 2D.

If you're wondering what to expect, here's the official Ontario government's "guidance" for cinema owners:

Yes, but I'm asking if they are projecting from a film reel or from a file on a computer.

very few cinemas project from film reels anymore. instead they get encryption keys that give them access to a digital download. I don't know of any Landmark locations that do film reels at this point.
