"Cineplex's revenue represents the highest quarterly total revenue recorded by the Fund since its inception," said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex Entertainment. "Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, excluding the $2.4 million expense for the wind up of the Famous Players Defined Benefit Plan recorded during the period, would have increased to $49.6 million from $47.8 million in the prior year. We also realized continued theatre attendance growth of 4.4%, box office per patron (BPP) growth of 3.0% to $8.30 and concession per patron (CPP) growth of 4.5% to a new record of $4.15. We continued to add members to our SCENE loyalty program which reached the 2 million membership milestone shortly following the quarter end," said Jacob.

EBITDA and distributable cash are not measures recognized by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and do not have standardized meanings in accordance with such principles. Therefore, EBITDA and distributable cash may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income, income tax expense, amortization and interest expense net of interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for non-controlling interests, extraordinary gains and gains or losses on disposal of assets. Distributable cash is a non-GAAP measure generally used in Canadian open-ended trusts, as an indicator of financial performance and it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash to evaluate performance primarily because of the significant effect certain unusual or non-recurring charges and other items have on EBITDA from period to period. For a detailed reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and from cash used in operating activities to distributable cash, please refer to Cineplex's management's discussion and analysis filed on www.sedar.com.

The third quarter of 2009 marked the fourth consecutive quarter that the Fund has reported its' highest-ever box office revenue for a given quarter. This has been achieved in spite of challenging economic conditions in Canada during this timeframe. The $155.9 million in box office represents the highest quarterly box office revenues recorded by the Fund since its inception, eclipsing the $151.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in box office revenues as compared to the prior year was primarily due to a greater breadth of film product. While the third quarter of 2008 featured the strong performance of The Dark Knight, which finished as the second-highest grossing film of all-time in North America, the third quarter of 2009 benefited from film product catering to wider ranging audiences, and the success of the premium-priced 3D and IMAX product.

Box office revenue per patron increased $0.24 (3.0%) from $8.06 in the third quarter of 2008 to $8.30 in the third quarter of 2009. The success of 3D films such as Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, The Final Destination and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs as well as IMAX releases including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen increased the Fund's overall box office revenue per patron, as these films are priced at a premium over regular ticket prices. Select ticket price increases implemented in November 2008 also contributed to this increase. The Fund's third quarter performance relative to industry was impacted by the strong regional performance in Quebec, where the Fund's market share is the lowest of the provinces in which the Fund operates, and the impact of certain independent non-traditional large-format locations.

Concession revenues

The following table highlights the movement in concession revenues, attendance and box office revenues per patron for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars, except attendance reported in thousands of patrons, and per patron amounts):

---------------------------------------------------  -----------------------
---------------------------------------------------  -----------------------

Concession revenues increased 9.1% as compared to the prior period, due to the 4.4% increase in attendance and a 4.5% increase in average concession revenue per patron, which increased from $3.98 in the third quarter of 2009 to $4.15 in the third quarter of 2009. The $4.15 CPP represents the Fund's highest ever quarterly CPP, $0.06 higher than the second quarter of 2009 which represented the Fund's previous highest quarterly CPP at $4.09. The increase in CPP compared to the prior period is due in part to the film slate, which catered to more family audiences in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year, with three of top five films during the quarter (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) catering to the family demographic, who tend to be higher concession spenders. The Fund believes that an improved product offering mix designed to encourage consumers to make purchases outside of the core concession offerings, as well as process improvements designed to increase speed of service also contributed to this year-over-year increase.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Fund launched the 'Telus Tuesdays' program which it believes will drive incremental attendance and concession purchase incidence on Tuesdays.

Management believes that concession revenues will continue to be dependent on overall theatre attendance and that the current economic conditions will not have a material impact on concession revenues.

Other revenues

The following table highlights the movement in media, games and other revenues for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars):

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Other revenues        Third Quarter       Year to Date September 30

Games             1,304     1,310   -0.5%    3,639    3,850    -5.5%

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Media revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $16.8 million, up $0.2 million from the prior year period. The third quarter of 2009 includes a $1.0 million increase in non-cash barter revenue, and a $1.0 million decrease in cash-settled media revenue. Rather than settling cash-based transactions, during 2008 and 2009 the Fund entered into a number of cross-promotional non-cash barter agreements with certain promotional partners to provide radio and television promotions for the Fund's business initiatives. During the third quarter of 2009 the Fund recognized $2.0 million in media revenue and $1.7 million in marketing costs related to these transactions (third quarter of 2008: $1.1 million in media revenue and $1.1 million in marketing costs). Other revenues are up $0.8 million, primarily due to higher breakage revenues associated with increased sales of gift cards and coupons.

Film cost

The following table highlights the movement in film cost and film cost as a percentage of box office revenue ("film cost percentage") for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars, except film cost percentage):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Film cost                  Third Quarter          Year to Date September 30

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Film cost            $82,024  $ 76,212    7.6% $ 229,336  $ 202,850    13.1%
Film cost percentage    52.6%     52.6%   0.0%      52.4%      52.3%    0.3%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Film cost varies primarily with box office revenue. The quarterly increase was due to the 7.5% increase in box office revenues. Film cost percentage for both the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 was 52.6%.

Cost of concessions

The following table highlights the movement in concession cost and concession cost as a percentage of concession revenues ("Concession Cost Percentage") for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars, except Concession Cost Percentage):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concession
 margin per patron  $   3.27   $   3.16     3.5% $   3.23  $   3.11     3.9%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost of concessions varies primarily with theatre attendance as well as the quantity and mix of concession offerings sold. The increase in concession cost period over period was due to the 4.4% increase in attendance, increased purchase incidence and the higher Concession Cost Percentage. This increase in Concession Cost Percentage was due to the improved product offering mix, designed to encourage consumers to make purchases outside of the core concession offerings. These non-core offerings tend to have lower margins than popcorn and fountain drinks. Despite this increase in concession cost percentage, the concession margin per patron increased from $3.16 in the third quarter of 2008 to $3.27 in the same period in 2009. The 'Telus Tuesdays' program is designed to increase concession purchase incidence on Tuesdays, however due to the discounted nature of the combo offering, will have a negative impact on the Concession Cost Percentage.

Occupancy expense

The following table highlights the movement in occupancy expenses for the quarter and the year to date, including non-recurring one-time benefits of lease-related amounts recognized during the period (in thousands of dollars):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Occupancy expense          Third Quarter          Year to Date September 30

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Occupancy expenses $ 39,154  $ 38,541     1.6% $ 118,172  $ 116,525     1.4%
One-time benefits  $   (614) $   (477)   28.7% $  (1,561) $  (2,670)  -41.5%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Occupancy expense increased $0.6 million, primarily due to the incremental costs associated with new and acquired theatres ($1.1 million), offset by the impact of disposed and closed theatres ($0.4 million) and higher one-time benefits of lease related amounts recognized in 2009 as compared to the prior period ($0.1 million).

Other operating expenses

The following table highlights the movement in other operating expenses during the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 expenses               $58,801 $ 52,370   12.3% $ 165,317 $ 144,334   14.5%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other operating expenses increased $6.4 million due to the incremental impact of new and acquired theatres ($1.7 million), increased theatre payroll due to minimum wage increases and increased theatre staffing in response to higher theatre attendance in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 ($1.7 million), costs related to expanded service offerings such as the elimination of charges for online ticketing and 3D technology licensing payments ($0.9 million), additional marketing costs ($1.1 million) primarily arising from the non-cash barter agreements previously discussed under 'Other revenues' and additional costs relating to servicing new clients and new business initiatives such as the Cineplex Store and Cineplex Digital Media ($1.4 million). These increases were offset by the impact of disposed and closed theatres ($0.4 million). Total theatre payroll accounted for 47.1% of the total expenses in other operating expenses during the third quarter of 2009, as compared to 48.3% for the same period in 2008.

General and administrative expenses

The following table highlights the movement in general and administrative ("G&A") expenses during the quarter and the year to date, including the Fund's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and unit option plan costs, and G&A net of these costs (in thousands of dollars):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

General and administrative costs increased $4.3 million as a result of a one-time settlement loss of $2.4 million relating to the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees of Famous Players, increased costs under the LTIP and option plans ($0.9 million) and increased direct costs ($1.0 million). The direct costs increased due to a $0.6 million increase in head office payroll, and higher professional fees ($0.4 million). Professional fees during the quarter are primarily related to consulting costs relating to the Fund's general ledger system upgrade undertaken to provide reporting enhancements in preparation for the Fund's transition to IFRS.

The Fund reported income before undernoted ("adjusted EBITDA") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $47.3 million and $121.8 million, respectively, as compared to income before undernoted of $47.8 million and $105.5 million, respectively, for the prior year periods. These changes were due to the aggregate effect of the factors described previously. The adjusted EBITDA figures for the 2009 periods include a one-time settlement loss of $2.4 million relating to the wind-up of the Famous Players defined benefit pension plan.

Distributable Cash

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, distributable cash per Fund unit was $0.670 as compared to $0.672 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The declared distributions per Fund unit were $0.315 for both the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The payout ratios were approximately 47% for each of these periods. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Fund generated distributable cash of $2.131 and $1.664, respectively, as compared to declared distributions of $1.260 and $1.225, respectively. The payout ratios for these periods were approximately 59% and 74%, respectively.

Presentation

Prior to 2009, Cineplex presented and discussed the results of Cineplex Entertainment Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as the Fund equity accounted for its investment in the Partnership prior to Q2 2007 and, as such, the consolidated financial statements of the Fund did not provide comparative results on a line-by-line basis. As a result of the Fund's step acquisitions in the Partnership, there are differences in the valuation bases of certain assets and liabilities between the Fund and the Partnership. These valuation differences give rise to differences in certain non-cash expenses (primarily included in the occupancy category) which result in differences in reported results between the Fund and the Partnership. In its filed Management's Discussion and Analysis, the Fund provides a reconciliation of the Fund and the Partnership reported results. For Q3 2009, the Fund reported Adjusted EBITDA of $47.3 million, and the Partnership reported Adjusted EBITDA of $48.2 million.

Trustee Change

Howard Beck, founding Trustee and Chairman of Cineplex Galaxy Income Fund, has decided to retire from the Chair position on the Board with Cineplex. Phyllis Yaffe has since been appointed as Chair of the Board.
