/CNW/ - (TSX: CGX) – Cineplex, Canada's leading entertainment and media
company, introduces a brand-new entertainment destination with the
launch of its first Junxion location, Cineplex
Junxion Kildonan in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Opening its doors on
Friday, the Junxion is a re-imagining of Cineplex's best-in-class
guest experience by bringing together movies, amusement gaming,
dining, and live performances under one roof, offering something
for everyone. It opens in time for one of the most highly
anticipated films of the year, Avatar: The Way of
Water.
"We have a legacy of bringing new and innovative entertainment
options to Canadians of all ages and the Junxion concept is a
perfect example of that. We know our guests are looking to connect
with one another in a shared experience that is so much more than a
movie theatre," said Ellis Jacob,
President and CEO, Cineplex. "With the best films, a wide
selection of amusement games, great food, and live local
entertainment, the Junxion combines all that Cineplex does best
under one roof. We can't wait to welcome Winnipeggers to
Cineplex Junxion Kildonan."
A first-of-its-kind venue globally, Junxion spans 35,000
square feet and features six state-of-the-art auditoriums with
all-recliner seating, including one UltraAVX auditorium and D-BOX
seats. Cineplex Junxion Kildonan also boasts a 4,100 square
foot gaming area with over 50 amusement games, a party room, and a
live entertainment space. Guests can enjoy a variety of popular
food options and indulge in a wide selection of beverages,
including wines and premium beers. Located at the popular Kildonan
Place mall, the new entertainment venue replaces the Famous
Players Kildonan Place.
Cineplex Junxion Kildonan is the first Junxion
location in Canada, with
