Cineplex Odeon snipe

[uszoninyc]

Garth Dabinsky's a fucking egotistical sack of shit (yes, I know: you've GOT to have an ego to get ahead).

I say it from personal experience, and, I hope he rots in a cell.

[Logoboy1000]

What trailer is that? Ed or The Paper?

[Logoboy1000]

It is Ed. I just figured it out. :)

It was such a nice theater.

[amcstudio30]

I remember this when i saw skin deep here in houston at cineplex odeon theaters on westhimer and spectrum drive and that was a nice theater sorry they torn it down

[prfsnlwannabe]

Another poster finally uploaded one of the feature presentation bumpers CO used(finally, though I hope a later version I better remember CO using shows up on youtube, down the road), just for everyone's info: watch?v=j1owoGXFr8U

[TheJamesmario]

was the peak of this clip, when shown in theatres about 105 db?

[WAYNE1980AA]

i think i know the history: the one from philo1978 is the 1985-mid 1986 version, the one here is 1986-1988 and the last one was more of a purple tint in 1989.

[WAYNE1980AA]

if anyone has more bumpers, please post them on youtube.

thanks

[Seigu007]

This makes me feel so nostalgic. I remember taking my girlfriend to see Back To the Future at Cineplex Odeon. Gawd i miss the old days.

[sorim69]

This used to scare me as a kid...that eerie opening music.

[getmario64]

This is my old school logo since I was a kid watching that logo in theaters,I love sound when opening starts the coming attractions and feature presentation.

[cement27]

I WAS A PROJECTIONIST AT MCCLURG COURT IN CHICAGO FROM 1995-2001 AND I LOVE PUTTING THIS ON 4 TRAILERS

[magnacore11]

This definetly takes me back to 1995-2000 when I saw a cinema feature every Friday afternoon. 5 bucks gotcha into a movie. Started off with Mortal Kombat and yeah...this is the opening I've seen every friday for about 3 years so...thanks a million for delivering this to us :)

[amcstudio30]

this brings back so many memories for me. thank you for uploading this

[rachelmack13]

Flubber is from late 1997, same year as Anastasia release, Anastasia's NOT a disney film, it was produced by 20th Century Fox, I have never seen this film Anastasia in theatres in late 1997.

[amckaty24]

this is a classic

[toiletholder]

I don't think that this particular trailer was used in the 80s. I remember the theatrical trailer for Cineplex was the same as the Cineplex Home Video trailer. This trailer with the coloseum (sp.?) came out in the 90s.

[Fmaack]

Anyone have that Cineplex Odeon jingle/song?

[amctc10]

I was working at plitt cinema 5 and cineplex odeon when i saw this . john hightower

[Maniaxe613]

How did you get this?

[solpapisolmook]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!!

[gotkube]

I don't suppose anyone knows where to find the CA & FP snipes that were issued in 2000 with the updated branding? Don't see it on Youtube anywhere. :/

[WAYNE1980AA]

i wonder how many logo's they made--i remember the 2.50 tuesday, the feature presentation bumper, coming attractions and now playing at a ...what other ones where created???

[RideMyBMW]

Dang! I can almost smell the buttery popcorn and hear the fizzing jumbo Coke.

[mrscovil]

i remember this, mid 90s i think. i wish i could see that general cinema bumper from the early 90s when the symbol is up in the clouds and there is sum trippy music

[Reed488]

Take a look at the compilation video "General Cinema Pre-Show Bumpers and Policy Trailers" to find that trailer.

[prfsnlwannabe]

It's sad I can't think of many Cineplex-Odeon theaters that opened in the Chicago area under CO's era that are left(let alone are still in their CO decor). I know at least Rivertree Court in Vernon Hills(which even still has its CO decor) is in operation, and a few others(some renovated with their CO decor removed) are left.

I wish someone would step up and reopen Lincoln Village 1-6(still in CO decor too), before it becomes too late.

[WAYNE1980AA]

how would the 2.50 tuesday bumper work? would it be in place of the feature presentation bumper?

[art2daG2002]

I heard there were two theatres in Houston: one on River Oaks, and another one near the Galleria. There was one here in Dallas at the Promenade Center in Richardson.

I've never been to the Cineplex; so, if I need to know what it sounds like in a theater, I preferred the DVD quality so I can hook it up to my surround sound system.

[elchubbo]

I remember going to see MORTAL KOMBAT 13 times during the summer of 1995 I believe as well as many other movies at CINEPLEX ODEON. That logo was usually fucking LOUD, especially in the DTS or newer THX auditoriums.

I miss the old Sherway cineplex in Toronto, it puts the QUEENSWAY to shame!

[WAYNE1980AA]

i tested the home video logo at 50 db and the sound meter showed 60 or more!

[toiletholder]

Hah! That's where I saw Mortal Kombat. The theatre was full and my friend couldn't find a seat. I think the last movie I saw there was being john malkovich. Memories.

[WAYNE1980AA]

how loud was this logo at the cinema?

if anyone has a copy of the crow with brandon lee,

it is released bu c/fp video, which is famous players.

the leaf and design matches famousd players' new logo, starting in 1988 or 89.

[WAYNE1980AA]

it looks like the logo is taken from the cineplex theater chain's logo.

[WAYNE1980AA]

this logo used to give me bad dreams when i first went to a cineplex odeon theater to see casper.

[Reed488]

Why so? I am just curious.

[WAYNE1980AA]

i am also curious too, i'm trying to see what it sound sound like at the cinema

[Reed488]

Why are you trying to hear what it sounded like at the movie theatre? Shouldn't you already know what it sounded like, given that you were there?

[fellofilmgeek]

anybody know if this was traditional animation or computer animation?

[smilyjump87]

I remember for the first month when I worked at Cineplex Odeon, before it was in a partnership with Cineplex Entertainment, the snip was the logo exploding into billions of little peaces really loudly, then coming back to spell "feature presentation" then it exploded again. It was wicked.

[ItsBartman]

I think I may have seen that one as well. Not so sure.

[boyfine]

Which is the reason why I didn't go to Empire Theaters for a LOOOOOOOOONG time. The last time I saw the Empire Theaters policy trailer that I hated which explodes into pieces very loudly was before "Shrek 2". Recently, I went to see "WALL-E" and they showed a much calmer snipe that contains the "no cell phone" policy.

[ItsBartmanIsBack]

That was also used for their home video logo.

Was thier any other bumpers aside from that and the one which has Devall's voice?

[MattCordellIsBack]

Were there any other snipes used in Cineplex Odeon's theaters? If so, can anyone upload them?

[214scifi]

I remember seeing the first DIE HARD movie in 70mm at the one of the first Cineplex Odeons in Houston, Tx!

[ItsBartman]

Which one in Houston?

[214scifi]

That's a good question. All I seem to remember is that it was the first one to open at that time. (Was it westheimer?)

[retroman1990]

The Spectrum 9. Torn down a few years ago.

[ItsBartman]

That was the one on West Gray, right? It's now a Marshall's.

[boyfine]

WHAT!?!?! How did you manage to get this clip without getting in trouble?

[chicagofan115]

Yeah, there is a Cineplex Odeon theatre near my college...but they are becoming scarce now in the Chicagoland area. This logo was creepy still, but awesome.

[misschii86]

Are you talking about the Lincoln Village 1-6?

[WAYNE1980AA]

cineplex odeon has a good list of tapes, about 15 plus. from 1985 to 1994-ish. this logo gave me nightmares after i went to see casper. i was sitting too close and i was only 6. i remember when i saw spice world and saw a variant of the feature presentation- many smaller versions of the logo without the words were combining to make the logo. is this real or not?

[skytower1]

I would love a copy of this snipe!,Please.

[skytower1]

PURE CLASS, I would to own a copy of that video, never mind oscar deuch.

[WAYNE1980AA]

cineplex odeon started in 1985

[rivest266]

Correction, Wayne 1980aa: Cineplex Odeon started as Cineplex in 1979 with the building of the Eaton Centre Cinemas with 18 tiny cinemas. It became Cineplex Odeon when they bought out Canadian Odeon Theatres* and France-Film in 1984.

* Canadian Odeon was the resault of Canadian Theatres from Calgary,AV bought out the Odeon Theatres from the British Rank Film.

[WAYNE1980AA]

i knew that but because i was running out of time i only said thatl.

[WAYNE1980AA]

sorry i made an error, i meant to say that and not thatl.

[amcstudio30]

@WAYNE1980AA i do miss this theater as well

[amcstudio30]

@WAYNE1980AA this was a classic

[MattCordellIsBack]

Cineplex Odeon also had a home video division, as I have stated many times already.

[cubdukat]

I don't think they did very many things in that area. About the only production I remember them being involved with was "Talk Radio."

[MattCordellIsBack]

I actually happen to own a few Cineplex Odeon tapes.

One of their productions was also Sign O' the Times and Last Temptation of Christ.

[Reed488]

Great logo, great backing theme, and filming technology probably ahead of its time. I have not seen any other North American theater chain trailer from the mid 1980s that matched this one in excellence. The next trailer that I saw that even came close to this one was not released until 1989 by United Artists Theatres from the U.S.

[prfsnlwannabe]

Wow, I remember when Cineplex Odeon theaters used to be all over the Chicago area. Just to think now, that they were bought out twice since they used to exist(by Loews around the late 90s/early 2000s, and Loews was bought by AMC around 2005).

So if they still exist as a company in Canada, does anyone know if they just split their American theater operations into a separate company(and around the time they merged w/Loews), or something else?

[rivest266]

IN 2000 Onex started a small circuit called Galaxy Cinemas in Canada after buying out Loews Cineplex. In 2005 Onex buys out Famous Players in Canada becoming Cineplex Entertainment and sells the Loews Cineplex in the U. S., which was than taken over by AMC.

[prfsnlwannabe]

Ah ok, I see now the history of Cineplex Odeon/Onex more now. Thanks for explaining that.

[kidinbed]

Isn't Galaxy also in the US? One of the 3 theaters I go to most is a Galaxy I believe.

[JPGroleau]

yeah a lot of US movie theatres and drive-ins are called Galaxy but the are not in the canadian "galaxy" chain, which is operated by Cineplex entertainment.

[iabhornc]

I remember this theater chain. I wonder if it still exists?

[misschii86]

It's still around but only in Canada.

[iabhornc]

Thanks.

[Ocp0001]

Wow!! That Was Undeniably Awesome! They Don't Make Logos Like That Nowadays...My Favorite Was The Regal Cinemas One With The Roller Coaster Opening...I Miss That So Much...

[sircalgary]

The Famous Players Feature Presentation one just before the takeover was pretty cool.

[rivest266]

I agree.

[jinrosemont]

what movie did you get this from?

[xDANCEDEVILx]

I wish youtube had the scotiabank one up. Now THATS cool :P

[JPGroleau]

the scotiabank one with : "coming soon" is on youtube. I will send you the link.

[CheesyBob42]

Did Cineplex Odeon just get a new snipe?

please reply to my question

[starryparisnites]

I think is The Paper

[kingofnonj]

Yea, I agree, I think thats the Paper

[ItsBartmanIsBack]

It is The Paper. I just figured it out. :)

Also, type &fmt=18 in the browser aside from the link and you'll get to hear this in stereo and see this in widescreen too

[Superman563]

canada to america: our cinema (cineplex) screen is 50' wide... how wide is yours??

[mroca]

Cineplex needs to release a DVD of Famous Players and Cineplex snipes.

[grf450]

I agree.

[JPGroleau]

I also agree !

[grf450]

There used to be a Cineplex Odeon in the 90s near my Dad's old office on Montrose. I went to that Cineplex Odeon to see Antz, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Star Trek: Irrusrection. There was also one at Memorial City Mall and if memory serves I remember going to the MCM location to see Batman Forever and Alaska and Hunchback of Notre Dame

[AdamDeanHall]

Did you also see Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith?

[grf450]

I saw Return of the Jedi at Tinsletown (I saw the IV, V, & VI when they were re-released in '97 btw) and I saw Phantom Menace at AMC Theaters. Only watched Clones on HBO and Never seen Sith

[grf450]

00:20-The 1990-97 Universal Logo. What movie trailer was that?

[cartoonyboy]

What was that preview that was just starting at the end of the clip?

[DenzelLockheart]

Hey! Thanks for bringing this back! I remember seeing this when I went to see "Get Over It" back in 2001. Thanks for uploading this!

[grf450]

I miss Cineplex Odeon:_(

[retroman1990]

OMG! I remember this! I never thought I'd see this again. I can recall seeing this when I went with my family to see "Scream" at the CO Water Tower. Thank you for uploading Rivest.

In fact, is there anyway you can get the Cineplex Odeon feature presentation version?

[rivest266]

Sorry, But I do not have the feature presention snipe.

[kascnef82]

This reminds me of the time I went to the now gone Tenplex over in Paramus, which is succeded by parent company AMC's Garden State 16. There are only two remaining former CO theaters, both in Jersey City and in Edison, both aging.

[misschii86]

I used to go to Lincoln Village 1-6 back in the day when it was good. I kinda liked 7-9 better. As for Plaza, that place was shitty. ^_^

[pirk70]

God, I love YouTube! Anytime I'm thinking of something from back-in-the-day, I can come here and find it! I love that people are as weird as I am and remember the stupid intro from the movies! :-)

[rivest266]

I Think it had the same design, Also I have seen French versions of the same clip, which were used in Quebec. (Notre Programme Principal) (Bientot la affice)

[alexlikesradio]

This is great! I did projection at the Cineplex Odeon Lincoln Village 6 and boy does this bring back the good days. Does any one have the Feature Presentation one?

[general682002]

Stunning!
