🎬 Cineplex Family Favourites: What to Catch in October 2025

If a cozy, budget-friendly movie morning sounds like the perfect fall plan, Cineplex Family Favourites has it covered. Every Saturday, families can head to the theatre for a feel-good flick — and tickets are only a few bucks. It’s one of those little local traditions that just makes weekends better, especially when the weather starts turning chilly.

Here’s a peek at what’s playing for October 2025 — it’s a pretty great mix of music, adventure, and a touch of spooky fun before Halloween.

📅 October 2025 Lineup

  • Saturday, October 4 – Trolls: A colorful, upbeat animated musical with songs that kids (and adults) can’t help but sing along to.
  • Saturday, October 11 – Minecraft: The Movie: The long-awaited live-action adaptation of the hit video game finally arrives! Expect adventure, humor, and plenty of pixel-inspired chaos brought to life with real actors.
  • Saturday, October 18 – Trolls Band Together: More music, friendship, and glitter! A fun sequel for fans of the first movie.
  • Saturday, October 25 – The Corpse Bride (20th Anniversary): A Tim Burton classic that’s spooky yet sweet — perfect for Halloween weekend.

Showtimes can vary by theatre, so it’s always best to double-check the local Cineplex listings before going.

🎟️ Showtimes can change depending on the theatre, so it’s always worth checking the local Cineplex listings before heading out.

💵 Ticket Info & Tips

Tickets are usually just $3.99 + tax, which feels almost old-school these days.

  • Buying online adds a small fee (about $1 for Scene+ members, $1.50 for others).
  • CineClub members usually skip that extra cost.
  • Showtimes typically go live on Fridays — the early birds tend to get the best seats.

Grab some popcorn, settle in, and you’ve got yourself a pretty perfect Saturday morning.

The Cineplex Family Favourites lineup for October 2025 is packed with good stuff — from the singalong energy of Trolls to the big-screen adventure of Minecraft, and a Halloween treat to wrap it all up.

For anyone in Winnipeg (or anywhere, really) looking for an easy weekend outing, this little Saturday tradition is hard to beat. Cheap tickets, cozy seats, and shared popcorn? That’s fall done right.
