TORONTO – Viewers may be paying a little more to see a movie at a Cineplex cinema this summer.
Canada’s largest film exhibitor says it has introduced a new $ 1.50 booking fee that applies to every ticket purchased through its mobile app and website.
The move comes when the company says it needs to “invest more and evolve our digital infrastructure.”
