Cineplex

Balcony cinema

Agency: Zulu Alpha Kilo

Description

After three months of temporary closures, Cineplex is reopening its theatres in all markets where it is permitted by local governments as early as the end of the month. In an effort to build anticipation and remind movie-lovers of the power of shared experiences and storytelling (while observing the important rules of physical distancing), Zulu Alpha Kilo and Cineplex decided to bring the fun that comes from a night out at the movies to the windows and balconies of Torontonians.
In addition to bringing the small community together, the movie-screening event included a donation drive, with proceeds going to Food Banks Canada. Since the pandemic began, Cineplex has been bringing the theatre experience straight to Canadians’ living rooms through the Cineplex Store. Through SkipTheDishes and UberEats, it’s famous popcorn and delicious eats from The Rec Room are available for home delivery, and the company has proudly donated $1 for every order to Food Banks Canada.
Leveraging a 40-foot wall as the theatre backdrop, residents at a condo building on Bay Street were able to view a screening of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ from the comfort of their own balconies – all while enjoying the excitement that typically comes with attending the movies in-person. The audio was shared through a select FM channel and Cineplex popcorn was delivered to the viewers through SkipTheDishes. Instead of coming attractions, the movie was preceded by a specially recorded message from Canadian actor Jay Baruchel, who stars as Hiccup in the movie.

This professional campaign titled 'Balcony cinema' was published in Canada in June, 2020. It was created for the brand: Cineplex, by ad agency: Zulu Alpha Kilo. This OOH Outdoor medium campaign is related to the Media and Recreation, Leisure industries and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted over 3 years ago.
