Samsung Electronics Canada and Cineplex Entertainment have announced the official launch of the Cineplex Store App on select models of Samsung SMART TVs, Blu-ray Players and Home Theatre Systems. Allowing Canadians to share their passion for movies at home, the Cineplex Store has thousands of movie titles available to rent or purchase. 

With no monthly subscription, Samsung owners pay only for the movies they watch, and they can conveniently store and manage all of their purchases with the Cineplex digital locker feature.   What’s more, SCENE™ members earn points with every purchase or rental.

“The Cineplex Store App is all about adding value for our Samsung customers by giving them access to content that will improve their experience with the device,” said Craig McLennan, Vice-President, Consumer Electronics at Samsung Canada.  “It’s just another way that we are helping Canadians to share their passions, in this case for great entertainment at home.”

“When Canadians think of movies, we want them to think of Cineplex. As the leader in Canadian theatrical exhibition, Cineplex can leverage the strong brand loyalty we have developed with our theatre guests into the home,” said Pat Marshall, Vice President Communications and Investor Relations.  “We are very pleased to work with another industry leader in Samsung to add our Cineplex Store App to their TVs, Blu-ray players and home theatre systems.”

Customers can stream their rentals and purchases. Cineplex Store rentals range from $2.99-$4.99, varying by new release versus catalogue title.  Rentals provide customers with up to 30 days to view their movie. Once they start to playback their movie rental they have 48 hours to watch it and can do so as many times as they wish.  Movies can also be purchased, with prices ranging from $9.99 – $19.99.
