Have you ever wanted to go see that new Canadian movie, but ended-up seeing “Lethal Weapon 7” because that’s the movie your friends wanted to see?
Have you ever silently cheered-on and hoped for a successful box-office for the latest Canadian movie, yet you yourself didn’t manage to get out to see the movie?
Do you wish that Canadian movies telling Canadian stories would become more widely accepted and more widely attended in Canadian movie theatres?
This group is for lovers of all types of movies who also have a soft-spot in their heart for Canadian movies.
This group aims to play a part in growing the audience in movie theatres for Canadian movies.
WHO MIGHT ENJOY THIS GROUP?
- Young or old: No matter what your age, you can do your part to support Canadian movies!
- Art lovers or pop-culture lovers: Truth be told, most of us who loved “Cinema Paradiso” probably also enjoyed “There’s Something About Mary.” Let’s support all entertaining Canadian movies and enjoy these films for the qualities they bring – artsy or not.
- Long-time Canadians, new Canadians, visitors to Canada: If you long to see Canadian stories told on the big screen, or if you’re trying to expose yourself to Canadian culture for the first time, you’ll find like-minded friends eager to share the experience with you.
- People who like Canadian movies who have no other friends to go with: Prefer not going to movies alone? Now you can arrive solo with confidence! You’re meeting your friends!
- Anyone who likes movies, sharing experiences with like-minded people, and establishing new friendships with others based on shared interests.
THERE ARE TWO MAIN GOALS OF THIS MEETUP GROUP:
1) Provide a way for people who want to support Canadian movies to meet and form friendships with others who also want to support Canadian movies.
2) Make a difference by increasing the box-office revenue for Canadian movies, preferably in the first weekend of theatrical release.
What better way to kick off the month of December than with a Canadian Christmas film! We will meet on the main level of the AMC by the box-office at 7:30, get our tickets and then head up to the theatre. Movie starts at 8:00. This film is getting some great reviews. I will be cross posting this movie on the Cinema Junkies site, so if you are in both groups, please only RSVP on one. Read more
