Cinépolis has announced the debut of its cinematic speed dating event series in partnership with CitySwoon, the world’s first and only dating platform that combines cloud-based, algorithm-powered matching with real-world speed dating events to reimagine the traditional dating experience. Available at select theatre locations nationwide beginning this February, Cinépolis' sophisticated and stylish lobby bars will be transformed into a series of pop-up speed dating venues hosted by CitySwoon.
Designed to help singles find their forever movie date, event attendees will mix and mingle while enjoying a lively atmosphere, chef-driven love bites, and a full-service bar serving film-themed cocktails and more.
The matchmaking series will unveil its inaugural event this February with additional events to follow throughout the year for those looking for love after Cupid's famed holiday.
"With a shared vision of inspiring meaningful connection, we're thrilled to partner with such an innovative and intentional platform like CitySwoon to share with our incredible community this fun twist on the traditional dinner-and-a-movie date night experience," said Annelise Holyoak, national director of marketing for Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas. "We can't imagine a more magical moviegoing experience than finding one's true love in the heart of cinema, and we hope to bring a little of that magic to this exciting matchmaking series."
With ticket pricing starting at $19 per-person for CitySwoon members and $39 per-person for non-members, singles will create a CitySwoon profile with their mobile device and sign-up for their preferred speed dating event(s) at Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas. Upon arrival at the cinema, guests will be greeted by a CitySwoon host and guided to the inviting lobby bar where a series of relaxed, algorithm-informed mini-dates will take place throughout the evening over the span of approximately two hours.
Mobile push notifications will alert guests to the next date in their evening's match queue, with each date lasting about 10 minutes in duration. After each connection, guests will be prompted to provide confidential feedback about their date and will also be able to safely and securely message their matches through the CitySwoon platform the following day.
"We're excited to bring a dash of Hollywood romance to the real world with our unique speed dating events at Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas. Our goal is to blend the magic of cinema with the thrill of meeting someone special, creating an unforgettable experience that goes beyond the screen," said CitySwoon CEO Brett Couston. "In a world where love is often blocked by digital interfaces, we're offering a chance to connect in a more meaningful way, surrounded by the timeless charm of the movies."
