MUMBAI: Popcorn? Check. Tickets? Check. Now with Cinépolis and Amazon Pay teaming up, your movie night just got a blockbuster upgrade. In a strategic move to amp up the convenience for cinema-goers, Cinépolis India, the country’s first international multiplex chain has partnered with Amazon Pay to roll out seamless, secure, and rewarding digital payments across all its theatres and platforms.

From quick one-click checkouts to exclusive launch offers and reward points, the alliance aims to transform every step of the movie journey, right from booking to binging on buttery popcorn.

“As a customer-first brand, we’re always looking to elevate the experience beyond just the big screen,” said Cinépolis India managing director Devang Sampat. “By integrating Amazon Pay, we’re offering patrons ease, trust, and extra value with every ticket or tub of caramel corn.”

Beginning with exclusive offers, the rollout is being activated across all Cinépolis locations covering its 449 screens under Cinépolis, Cinépolis VIP, and Fun Cinemas brands.

Amazon Pay India’s CEO Vikas Bansal added, “This collaboration is about combining secure, speedy transactions with entertainment. It’s one more step in making everyday spends including your next blockbuster binge more rewarding.”

This isn’t Cinépolis’ first brush with innovation. From kid-friendly ‘Cinépolis Junior’ auditoriums with bean bags and loungers to its Club Cinépolis loyalty programme offering star-studded perks and pre-screening invites, the chain has built its name on tech-savvy hospitality.

The partnership continues Cinépolis’ award-winning run having bagged the ‘Retailer of the Year - Leisure and Entertainment’ title at MAPIC 2024 and a string of other honours across 2023.

And now, with the tap of a button, you can grab your seat, skip the queues, and get rewarded for every rom-com, thriller, or superhero saga you devour.

In other words, paying for your film fix just got its own plot twist.
