Cinépolis India, the country’s first international cinema exhibitor and a pioneer in redefining entertainment, today announced the launch of Foovies, a disruptive lifestyle trend that fuses food with movies and sets a new benchmark in cinema experiences.
For years, a night out meant dinner and a movie. Cinépolis has fused the two into one seamless experience where great food and great films come together under one roof. With Foovies, cinema snacking evolves into a curated culinary affair, where indulgent, freshly prepared meals are served in-theatre, transforming a regular movie outing into a complete lifestyle destination.
Breaking the long-standing myth that cinemas only serve “snacks,” Foovies introduces a vibrant menu that goes far beyond popcorn and cola. Guests can now enjoy handcrafted favourites ranging from pizzas, wraps, fries, nachos, and samosas to decadent in-house desserts – all freshly made with the same artistry and passion that fuel the stories on screen. The initiative repositions Cinépolis not just as a multiplex chain, but as a legitimate foodie destination where food and film converge seamlessly.
Foovies is more than a menu upgrade; it is a lifestyle movement designed to reshape how people experience cinema. Whether it’s a date night, a family outing, or a weekend hangout with friends, Foovies provides the perfect plan by combining India’s two greatest passions in one seamless experience. To mark the launch, Cinépolis has also introduced special offers such as Foovies25, which provides 25% off on food and movie tickets, along with the integration of Club Cinépolis benefits that allow guests to earn and redeem loyalty points on food and beverages.
Speaking on the launch, Devang Sampat, Managing Director, Cinépolis India, said, “At Cinépolis, we don’t just showcase films, we craft experiences. Foovies is our bold step to make every movie visit an immersive lifestyle indulgence, blending the joy of cinema with the comfort of world-class food.”
Since entering India in 2009, Cinépolis has consistently redefined cinema-going with innovations such as luxury recliners, Dolby surround sound, immersive projection technologies, and its globally acclaimed fresh popcorn. With the launch of Foovies, the brand takes its leadership a step further by transforming theatres into dining destinations and reshaping how India consumes entertainment. This bold move underscores Cinépolis’ vision to deliver more flavour, more experience, and more magic in every movie outing.
