Cineplex celebrates 40th anniversary of ‘Grease’ as part of Classic Film Series

Gas up your Ford De Luxe convertible and cruise over to a Cineplex theatre near you, because the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies are back in theatres. For its 40th anniversary, the iconic musical “Grease” will rock screens across Canada on April 15 and 18, as part of Cineplex Events’ Classic Film Series.

Released in 1978 to immediate fanfare, “Grease” is a box office success that has grossed $395 million worldwide, making it one of the most successful musicals ever made. Premiering just one year after “Saturday Night Fever,” “Grease” cemented John Travolta as a Hollywood star and catapulted pop star Olivia Newton John to even greater fame. The film’s soundtrack was also an instant hit, featuring two number 1 singles, “You’re the One That I Want” and “Grease.”

Cineplex Cinemas in Charlottetown will be showing the classic film series, but not the Summerside theatre. For $6.99 per screening, the Classic Film Series gives moviegoers the opportunity to revisit time-honoured favourites. Also included in the winter/spring 2018 lineup are celebrated Hollywood staples “Doctor Dolittle” and “To Kill a Mockingbird,” based on the acclaimed novel by Harper Lee, featuring iconic performances by the likes of Rex Harrison and Gregory Peck.
