i.    Effective January 1, 2013, Cineplex implemented International         
      Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS") 11, Joint Arrangements,         
      retrospectively. As a result, certain comparative items presented in  
      this news release for 2012 have been revised.                         
ii.   Period over period change calculated based on thousands of dollars    
      except percentage and per share values. Changes in percentage amounts 
      are calculated as 2013 value less 2012 value.                         
iii.  Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted free cash flow   
      per common share of Cineplex are measures that do not have a          
      standardized meaning under generally accepted accounting principles   
      ("GAAP"). These measures as well as other non-GAAP financial measures 
      monitored by Cineplex are defined in the 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures'
      section in this news release.                                         



"It was a record quarter for Cineplex," said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO,
Cineplex Inc. "New all-time records were set for total revenues and adjusted
EBITDA. Media revenues continued to be strong increasing 44.7% to $26.4 million.
Our SCENE program continued to increase its membership adding a further 200,000
members to reach 4.7 million. Increased attendance resulting from strong film
product during the period and increased revenues generated from concession, box
office and media, all contributed to the tremendous gains in adjusted EBITDA.


"In addition to this very strong financial performance, we continued to
strengthen our core exhibition business with the announcement of our agreement
to acquire 26 Empire theatres. This proposed acquisition will enable us to
extend our brand into Atlantic Canada, which will provide us with a truly
national presence from coast to coast. It also provides growth opportunities for
SCENE, cineplex.com, the Cineplex mobile app and other programs. We also
launched SuperTicket, which is the world's first-ever bundled offering from
multiple studios that enables movie-goers to purchase a movie admission ticket
and pre-order the UltraViolet digital download of a movie at the same time. The
pre-ordered digital version will be available before the movie is released for
home viewing and will also include a variety of additional value, such as bonus
SCENE points and more that will vary by film. Subsequent to the quarter end, we
announced our offer to acquire a market leading in-store digital signage
company, EK3 Technologies Inc. This acquisition complements our existing
Cineplex Digital Media business and combined with EK3, will make us a leader in
the indoor digital signage industry and provide a platform for significant
growth throughout North America."

Box office revenues increased $18.2 million, or 11.6%, to $174.4 million during
the second quarter of 2013, compared to $156.2 million recorded in the same
period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to a 8.6% increase in attendance
as a result of the strong depth of the film slate during the current period. The
prior year period was dominated by Marvel's The Avengers, whereas in the current
period multiple blockbusters delivered strong results. The acquisition of the
four theatres from AMC during the third quarter of 2012 also contributed to the
box office revenue increase in the current year period.


BPP for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $9.36 compared to $9.11 in the
prior year period. This represents a quarterly BPP record for Cineplex,
exceeding the previous record of $9.18 established in the fourth quarter of
2012. The BPP increase was due to premium priced product accounting for 42.2% of
box office revenues in the current period, compared to 36.0% in the prior year
period. The increase in the percentage of box office revenues from premium
priced product was due in part to increased installations of UltraAVX, 3D, IMAX
and VIP screens since the second quarter of 2012. 


Cineplex continues to invest in premium priced formats including 3D, UltraAVX,
IMAX and VIP thereby positioning itself to benefit from the premiums charged for
these offerings.

Box office revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $319.5 million
or 4.6% higher than the prior year period. The strong performance of the
blockbuster releases in the second quarter of 2013 more than offset the decline
in box office revenues reported in the first quarter of 2013. The acquisition of
the four theatres from AMC during the third quarter of 2012 also contributed to
the box office revenue increase in the current year period.


Cineplex's BPP for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $0.26, or 2.9%,
from $8.92 in the 2012 period to $9.18. This increase was primarily due to the
increase in revenues from premium-priced product. Premium-priced offerings
accounted for 38.9% of Cineplex's box office revenues in the six months ended
June 30, 2013, compared to 31.6% in the prior year period. The top five films in
the current period were all screened in IMAX and four in 3D (2012 period - four
in IMAX and three in 3D).


Cineplex's investment in premium-priced formats over the last five years has
positioned it to take advantage of the price premiums charged for these formats,
which has contributed to Cineplex's BPP growth in the current period compared to
the prior year period. This investment in premium-priced offerings was a key
factor resulting in Cineplex outperforming the Canadian industry box office
revenue growth during the 2013 periods.

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



Second Quarter 

Concession revenues increased 12.2% as compared to the prior year period
primarily due to the 8.6% increase in attendance. CPP increased from $4.66 in
the second quarter of 2012 to $4.81 in the same period in 2013, a 3.2% increase
and quarterly record for Cineplex. Increased visitation at concession outlets
led to the record concession revenues in the period, and the record CPP in the
period was due in part to the expanded offerings outside of core concession
products driving higher average order value. Brand optimization continues with
the expansion of Cineplex's Outtakes and Poptopia brands, with 13 new or
rebranded outlets opened in the period.


Year to Date 

Concession revenues increased 5.5% as compared to the prior year period, due to
the 1.6% increase in attendance and the 3.9% increase in CPP. CPP increased from
$4.58 in 2012 to $4.76 in 2013. This represents the highest CPP Cineplex has
reported through the first six months of any year.


While the 10% SCENE discount and SCENE points issued on concession combo
purchases reduce individual transaction values which impacts CPP, Cineplex
believes that this program drives incremental visits and concession purchases,
resulting in higher overall 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 Canadian dollars):




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

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



Second Quarter

Other revenues increased 36.6% to $37.6 million in the second quarter of 2013
compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher
media revenues, which were $26.4 million, up $8.1 million, or 44.7%, when
compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher
showtime and digital pre-show revenues, with the automotive, electronics and
telecommunications sectors providing the largest revenue increases. 


The games revenue increase is primarily due to the addition of six new XSCAPE
entertainment centres since the second quarter of 2012. On January 31, 2012,
Cineplex deconsolidated New Way Sales ("NWS") and merged its operations with the
amusement game and vending assets of Starburst Coin Machines Inc. ("SCM"), to
create Cineplex Starburst Inc ("CSI"). Cineplex and SCM both have a 50% interest
in CSI. Cineplex's share of revenues and expenses from CSI for the periods
subsequent to January 31, 2012 are included in the 'Share of income of joint
ventures' line in the statements of operations.


The increase in the other category is primarily due to higher auditorium rental
and screening revenues as well as additional revenues arising from enhanced
guest service initiatives.


Year to Date 

Other revenues increased 29.1% from $50.0 million in 2012 to $64.6 million
during 2013. Media revenues for 2013 increased $11.8 million, or 38.1%, from the
prior year period, with the increase primarily due to higher showtime and
digital pre-show revenues. CDM contributed $0.8 million to this revenue growth
in the period.


The year-to-date period includes a life-to-date one-time increase to games
revenue of $0.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2013 due to a change in
accounting policy regarding the recognition of revenue on the sale of XSCAPE
gaming cards, which was offset by the games revenues for the first quarter of
2012 including the results of NWS for January 2012 ($0.4 million). The increase
in the other category is primarily due to higher auditorium rental and screening
revenues as well as additional revenues arising from enhanced guest service
initiatives.

percentage for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian
dollars, except film cost percentage):

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



Second Quarter 

Film cost varies primarily with box office revenue, and can vary from quarter to
quarter based on the relative strength of the titles exhibited during the
period. The increase in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year
period was due to the increase in box office revenue and the impact of the 0.1%
decrease in film cost percentage. The decrease in film cost percentage is
primarily due to the settlement rate on the top films during the second quarter
of 2013 being higher than the average film settlement rate on certain strong
performing titles in the 2012 period.


Year to Date 

The year to date increase in film cost was due to the 4.6% increase in box
office revenues partially offset by the 0.3% decrease in film cost percentage
during the period. The decrease in the film cost percentage as compared to the
prior year period is primarily due to the settlement rate on certain strong
performing titles during the 2012 period being higher than the average
settlement rate in the 2013 period.


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 Canadian dollars, except
concession cost percentage and concession margin per patron):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) See 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures' section in this news release          
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Second Quarter 

Cost of concessions varies primarily with theatre attendance as well as the
quantity and mix of concession offerings sold. The increase in concession cost
as compared to the prior year period was due to the 12.2% increase in concession
revenues and the 0.5% increase in the concession cost percentage during the
period. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.69 in the second
quarter of 2012 to $3.79 in the same period in 2013, reflecting the impact of
the higher CPP during the period. 


Year to Date 

The increase in concession cost during the period was due to the 5.5% increase
in concession revenues and the 0.7% increase in the concession cost percentage
during the period. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.63 in the
2012 period to $3.74 in the current period, reflecting the impact of the higher
CPP during the period.


Despite the 10% discount offered to SCENE members and SCENE points offered on
select combo offerings, which contributes to a higher concession cost
percentage, Cineplex believes the SCENE program drives incremental attendance
and purchase incidence which increases concession revenues and CPP.


Depreciation and amortization 

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




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

                        ----------------------------------------------------
Amortization expenses as

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



The quarterly decrease in amortization of property, equipment and leaseholds of
$0.2 million and year-to-date decrease of $1.0 million is due to certain assets
becoming fully amortized in the third quarter of 2012, partially offset by the
impact of the purchases of equipment and leaseholds relating to new theatre
construction.


The increase in amortization of intangible assets and other in the second
quarter of 2013 and the year to date period compared to the prior year periods
is due to the amortization of certain trade name assets that are being phased
out by Cineplex. These assets were previously classified as indefinite life
assets however during the fourth quarter of 2012 their classification was
changed to definite life with amortization being recorded over the anticipated
rebranding schedule of the associated theatres. During the second quarter of
2013, the timeframe over which certain assets were being amortized was adjusted
to reflect the revised completion date for the rebranding of the impacted
theatres.

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



During the second quarter of 2013, Cineplex recorded a loss of $1.3 million on
the disposal of assets that were sold or otherwise disposed (2012 - $0.7
million). For the six months ended June 30, 2013, disposal of assets resulted in
a loss of $2.4 million on the disposal of assets that were sold or otherwise
disposed (2012 - $0.7 million).


Other costs

Other costs include three main sub-categories of expenses, including theatre
occupancy expenses, which capture the rent and associated occupancy costs for
Cineplex's various operations; other operating expenses, which include the costs
related to running Cineplex's theatres and ancillary businesses; and general and
administrative expenses, which includes costs related to managing Cineplex's
operations, including the head office expenses. Please see the discussions below
for more details on these categories. The following table highlights the

Second Quarter 

Theatre occupancy expenses increased $5.6 million during the second quarter of
2013 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the
impact of new and acquired theatres, primarily the four theatres acquired from
AMC in the third quarter of 2012 ($4.9 million). 


Year to Date 

The increase in theatre occupancy expenses of $10.5 million for 2013 compared to
the prior year was due to the new and acquired theatres, primarily the four
theatres acquired from AMC in the third quarter of 2012 ($9.8 million). This
increase was partially offset by the impact of favourable real estate tax
reassessments included in the 'one-time items' category.

Second Quarter 

Other operating expenses during the second quarter of 2013 increased $6.0
million or 9.6% compared to the prior year period. The impact of new and
acquired net of disposed theatres was a $2.8 million increase to the category
primarily due to the four theatres acquired from AMC which accounted for $2.2
million of the $2.8 million increase. Media expenses increased $1.0 million due
to the higher volume of media sales activity in the quarter. As a result of
higher business volumes at the theatres during the current year period,
same-store payroll costs increased $0.6 million. 


The major movement in the Other category included the following:



--  The increase in 3D attendance due to stronger 3D product and the
    additional 140 3D screens added since June 30, 2012 resulted in higher
    3D royalty costs ($0.5 million). 
--  Increased online ticket sales and higher business volumes resulted in an
    increase in credit card service fees ($0.3 million). 



Total theatre payroll costs accounted for 43.5% of total operating expenses
during the second quarter of 2013 as compared to 44.3% for the same period one
year earlier. 


Year to Date 

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other operating expenses increased $11.9
million. The impact of new and acquired net of disposed theatres was a $5.7
million increase to the category primarily due to the four theatres acquired
from AMC which accounted for $4.3 million of the $5.7 million increase. Cost
increases included higher media costs due to the higher media sales during the
period ($2.3 million), higher same-store payroll expenses related to the
increased business volumes ($0.3 million), higher marketing costs ($0.6 million)
and a $3.4 million increase in the Other category. 


The major movement in the Other category included the following: 



--  The increase in 3D attendance due to stronger 3D product and the
    additional 140 3D screens added since June 30, 2012 resulted in higher
    3D royalty costs ($0.9 million). 
--  Higher credit card service fees due to higher sales volumes during the
    period ($0.5 million).  
--  Increased spending for new business initiatives including Cineplex's
    interactive business ($0.3 million). 
--  Higher same-store utility costs during 2013 compared to the prior year
    period ($0.2 million).  
--  Higher theatre operating costs including cleaning, ticket paper, and
    projector bulb expenses. 



Total theatre payroll accounted for 43.5% of total other operating expenses in
the 2013 period, compared to 45.0% in the prior year period. 


General and administrative expenses 

The following table highlights the movement in general and administrative
("G&A") expenses during the quarter and year to date, including Share based
compensation costs, and G&A net of these costs (in thousands of Canadian

(i) LTIP includes the expense for the LTIP program as well as the expense for
the executive and Board deferred share unit plans. 


Second Quarter 

G&A expenses increased $3.2 million during the second quarter of 2013 compared
to the prior year period, due to a $1.7 million increase in LTIP expense. The
increase in Cineplex's share price during the period, which closed the second
quarter at a record high of $36.88, was the main contributor to the increase in
LTIP expense. G&A excluding LTIP and option plan expense increased due in part
to higher head office payroll expenses. 


Year to Date 

G&A expenses for 2013 increased $4.0 million compared to the prior year period,
due to the $2.5 million increase in LTIP expense. Head office payroll expenses
increased $1.8 million due to new business initiatives resulting in additional
headcount.

Second Quarter 

The increase from income of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 to income
of $1.2 million in the current period is due to nominal increases in income from
Cineplex's theatre joint ventures and CSI. 


Under IFRS 11, Cineplex's 50% interest in SCENE LP is classified as a joint
operation and not a joint venture resulting in Cineplex recognizing its share of
the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of SCENE in its consolidated
financial statements on a line-by-line basis. 


Year to Date 

The increase from income of $1.4 million in the 2012 period to income of $1.8
million in the current year is due to nominal income increases in all of
Cineplex's joint ventures. 


EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, INCOME TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION ("EBITDA")

The following table presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended June

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



Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 increased $11.4 million, or
24.2%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase as compared to the
prior year period was primarily due to the higher attendance in the period
resulting in higher exhibition and concession revenues, as well as the strong
media revenues in the period. The four theatres acquired from AMC in the third
quarter of 2012 contributed $0.5 million to adjusted EBITDA in the period.
Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues,
was 19.5% compared to 17.9% in the prior year period.


Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $90.4 million
compared to $88.4 million in the prior year period. This increase was due to the
record second quarter exhibition results as well as the strong media revenues
recorded throughout the 2013 period compared to the prior year. 


Cineplex believes its operating and programming expertise, combined with its
merchandising, media, marketing, interactive and SCENE loyalty programs will
positively and significantly improve the operations of the four theatres
acquired from AMC. Cineplex has added UltraAVX auditoriums to these locations
and will continue to invest in each of the locations by potentially adding VIP
auditoriums or XSCAPE entertainment centres to one or more of the locations.


ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW

For the second quarter of 2013, adjusted free cash flow per common share of
Cineplex was $0.7347 as compared to $0.4816 in the prior year period. The
declared dividends per common share of Cineplex were $0.3525 in the second
quarter of 2013 and $0.3325 in the prior year period. During the twelve months
ended June 30, 2013, Cineplex generated adjusted free cash flow per Share of
$2.2326, compared to $2.0331 in the prior year period. Cineplex declared
dividends per Share of $1.3650 and $1.3000, respectively, in each period. The
payout ratios for these periods were approximately 61.1% and 63.9%,
respectively.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not measures recognized by GAAP and do
not have standardized meanings in accordance with such principles. Therefore,
EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers. Management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free
cash flow 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. 


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 gains and losses on disposal of assets and
the share of income of the Canadian Digital Cinema Partnership ("CDCP"). 


Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure generally used by Canadian
corporations, 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. 


For a detailed reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and
from cash used in or provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash
flow, please refer to Cineplex's management's discussion and analysis filed on
www.sedar.com.


Per Patron Revenue Metrics

Cineplex reviews per patron metrics as they relate to box office revenue and
concession revenue such as BPP, CPP, BPP excluding premium priced product, and
concession margin per patron, as these are key measures used by investors to
value and assess Cineplex's performance, and are widely used in the theatre
exhibition industry. Management of Cineplex defines these metrics as follows:




Attendance: Attendance is calculated as the total number of paying patrons  
that frequent Cineplex's theatres during the period.                        
BPP: Calculated as total box office revenues divided by total paid          
attendance for the period.                                                  
BPP excluding premium priced product: Calculated as total box office        
revenues for the period, less box office revenues from 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and
IMAX product; divided by total paid attendance for the period, less paid    
attendance for 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and IMAX product.                          
CPP: Calculated as total concession revenues divided by total paid          
attendance for the period.                                                  
Premium priced product: Defined as 3D, UltraAVX, IMAX and VIP film product. 
Concession margin per patron: Calculated as total concession revenues less  
total concession cost, divided by attendance for the period.                



Same Store Analysis

Cineplex reviews and reports same store metrics relating to box office revenues,
concession revenues, rent expense and payroll expense, as these measures are
widely used in the theatre exhibition industry as well as other retail
industries. 


Same store metrics are calculated by removing the results for all theatres that
have been opened, acquired, closed or otherwise disposed of during the periods.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, ten locations that
have been opened or acquired and four locations that have been closed or
otherwise disposed of have been excluded, resulting in 130 theatres being
included in the same store metrics.


Cost of sales percentages

Cineplex reviews and reports cost of sales percentages for its two largest
revenue sources, box office revenues and concession revenues as these measures
are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry. These measures are reported
as film cost percentage and concession cost percentage, respectively, and are
calculated as follows: 




Film cost percentage: Calculated as total film cost expense divided by total
box office revenues for the period.                                         
Concession cost percentage: Calculated as total concession costs divided by 
total concession revenues for the period.

(i)   Changes in operating assets and liabilities are not considered a      
      source or use of adjusted free cash flow.                             
(ii)  Tenant inducements received are for the purpose of funding new theatre
      capital expenditures and are not considered a source of adjusted free 
      cash flow.                                                            
(iii) Growth capital expenditures and other represent expenditures on Board 
      approved projects as well as any expenditures for digital equipment   
      that was contributed to CDCP, exclude maintenance capital             
      expenditures, and are net of proceeds on asset sales. Cineplex's      
      revolving facility is available to fund Board approved projects.      
(iv)  Excludes the share of income of CDCP, as CDCP is a limited-life       
      financing vehicle funded by virtual print fees collected from         
      distributors. Cash invested into CDCP, as well as cash distributions  
      received from CDCP, are considered to be uses and sources of adjusted 
      free cash flow.
