A Theatre That’ll Bowl You Over

It’s a first. Cineplex Entertainment’s recently opened SilverCity Oakville, on the border between Burlington and Oakville in Ontario, is the company’s first cinema to incorporate a bowling alley.

Cozy and modern, the alley is just one part of a multifaceted entertainment area called The Backlot located inside the 45,000 square-foot complex. Aside from the six premium lanes, The Backlot boasts a licensed lounge offering drinks and appetizers, two party rooms (which can be booked for special occasions or corporate events) and a games room with pool tables, plasma screens and an array of interactive videogames.

And if the thought of leaving the kids at home for a whole afternoon or evening has parents nervous, another first for the theatre chain — Cineplex Kids Club child-minding services —will come as welcome news.

Those child-minding services are particularly useful for guests who want to make use of the complex’s VIP Experience, which features a private licensed lounge and three VIP auditoriums that are exclusive to moviegoers 19 years and older. Inside, guests will enjoy premium seats, which can be reserved ahead of time, and can order drinks and appetizers right from their seats.

As for the movie-watching experience, nine of the cinema’s 12 auditoriums feature digital projectors that deliver razor-sharp images — the most digital projectors in any one place in Canada.

Cineplex is treating the SilverCity Oakville as a prototype,and has discussed adding some of its unique elements to new and existing theatres across the country.

An old flame, someone new or no one at all? If you were writing the script for Sex and the City: The Movie who would Carrie end up with? (If it’s someone new, feel free to cast the part.)

Look for the answers to this question in the April issue. Responses may be edited for length and clarity.
