*************************
Cineplex, one of Canada's leading entertainment and media companies, and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment have once again teamed up as part of their ongoing partnership to bring #WeTheNorth fever to Raptors fans across the country.
Coinciding with the start of the series, 33 Cineplex theatres from coast-to-coast will host Raptors viewing parties to celebrate the team's historic entrance into the 2019 NBA Finals. Canadian fans are invited to unite and rally behind the Raptors as they face-off against the Golden State Warriors, live on the big screen, for an immersive experience you could only get courtside at the game.
Participating theatres hosting Raptors viewing parties include SilverCity Newmarket Cinemas.
Tickets to the first four games of the series will be available in-person at participating theatre box offices. All Raptors viewing parties are free and limited to two tickets per person, per game.
The 2019 NBA Finals will be screened as part of Cineplex Events' specialty programming and is one of many live sporting events that have appeared on the big screen, including the NBA Playoffs in 2016. MLSE and Cineplex, through its esports division WorldGaming Network, have also partnered to engage with NBA 2K players and fans locally in Toronto and across Canada through online and in-person gaming tournaments. Guests are encouraged to visit here for more information and to view a list of upcoming sports, concerts, music, exclusive performances and classic film favorites available at their local theatres.
