Laid-back box office hits on the Drive.
VanEast Cinema on Commercial Drive offers the box office hits
On the Drive and just around the corner from the Rio Theatre, VanEast Cinema provides the neighbourhood with its mainstream movie fix. VanEast sidesteps the overrated frills and gawky design of the larger chain theatres while still delivering box office hits on their two screens.
VanEast is Commercial Drive’s answer to experiencing Hollywood cinema the indie way; peach drink, balcony seating and all.
2290 Commercial Dr, Vancouver

Seats up top will cost you a dollar more, but coupled with already good prices, it’s worth it for the bird’s eye view. And everything you need to snack on—even ice cream for those hot summer nights—is stashed behind the concession counter, waiting to be devoured. Be sure to bring more than a wallet full of plastic though, the concession is cash only.
So if you’re not interested in making a big production out of your next movie night out, try the Drive’s laid-back cinema experience.
