The grand opening for Cinémas VIP Forum will be on June 18, 2021. The province will be in the yellow zone. I added a photo of the lounge from last month.
There will continue to be 22 cinemas. The current layout is the same as when I visited in May 2021:
• Main floor: Cinemas 1 to 3 (1 and 2 are regular, 3 is UltraAVX)
• Basement: Cinemas 4 to 10 (4 is regular, the others were renamed VIP 1 to VIP 5, plus one unnumbered IMAX)
• Top floor: Cinemas 11 to 22 (all regular)
The small arcade, and abandoned traditional concession stand, were removed to make way for Cinémas VIP. Sadly, the hockey rink decorations (movie quotes such as « Lance et Compte! ») were also removed. Washrooms were renovated as well, with improved VIP decor. There is an outside circular path, separate from Cinémas VIP, to access the washrooms, IMAX and regular Cinema 4.
To answer earlier comments from this year, for the top floor, only one escalator exists: from main to top. Exit only doors on the top floor lead to non-Cineplex stairs, escalators, and elevators used for the rest of the forum. The only way to access lower floors without exiting Cineplex is by using the Cineplex elevator.
AMC built three concession stands, one on each floor, but Cineplex only kept the main floor stand open. With 12 cinemas on the top floor, which only has a few vending machines now, this can be a hassle! That said, I’m happy that the basement now has snacks.
There is a Melt ice cream shop and a Starbucks now, in addition to the mini Pizza Pizza. Not sure if Poptopia is still there. That said, a mini Poptopia exists at concession booths.
IMAX VR is gone, being replaced by VRcade. Also, to answer SilverPlaqueVII, the box office was not relocated per se. More precisely, it was merged with the Guest Services and IMAX desk upstairs, which is now a shell of what it originally was. There’s also tons of ticket machines upstairs.
