Going to the Movies with Westshore
There’s something special about the buzz of a new movie hitting theatres—the anticipation, the shared excitement, and let’s not forget the best popcorn there it. With some great movies debuting over the coming weeks and months, we took a few minutes to catch up with Jesse Logan, General Manager at Cineplex Westshore, to get the inside scoop on what movie lovers should be excited about and how you can make the most of your next movie night.
Whether you’re into action, nostalgia, or family-friendly favourites, there’s something for everyone heading to theatres in the coming months. Disclosure Day tops Logan’s list, he says, adding that it’s a Steven Spielberg film, along with Michael, which he’s curious to see how audiences react to. Fans can already flock to the theatre to see Mario Galaxy, and save the date for other exciting arrives like The Devil Wears Prada 2 (May 1), Mortal Kombat II (May 8), Mandalorian: Grogu (May 22), and Toy Story 5 (June 19), all of which are sure to make for great viewing.
But what really makes the theatre experience stand out compared to watching a movie at home? According to Logan, it’s about more than just the film itself. “It’s a night out,” he explains. “You get the big screen, big sound, and big snacks—make it an occasion.”
For families planning a movie outing with little ones, Logan says a little strategy can go a long way. Thanks to reserved seating, there’s no need to arrive extra early just to secure a good spot. Simply book your tickets in advance, choose your seats, and relax. Hoping for a quieter viewing? Consider going on a Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday when the theatre tends to be quieter, or opt for a matinee viewing if your schedule allows.
And of course, no movie night is complete without snacks. While popcorn and candy are classics, Logan has a go-to combo that might surprise some moviegoers: adding jalapeños to popcorn. It’s a simple twist that brings a little heat and a lot of flavour, and it might just become your new favourite theatre treat.
Whether you’re planning a big night out or a casual midweek escape, the magic of the movies is alive and well. With an exciting lineup ahead and a few insider tips, your next trip to the theatre might just be your best one yet.
