Case Study: Cineplex Entertainment achieves blazing-fast movie search and scalable performance with Agility CMS

Cineplex uses Agility CMS for Blazing Fast Movie Search

Cineplex Entertainment, a leading Canadian film and entertainment company welcoming over 70 million guests a year, faced a fragmented web estate after a major merger and an inflexible CMS that limited design, performance, scalability, multilingual support and rapid updates. To unify sites, integrate showtimes and ticketing, and boost online sales and movie‑search conversions, Cineplex selected Agility CMS as its platform and partner.

Agility CMS delivered iterative rebuilds (2007, 2010, 2014) with a flexible, responsive CMS, professional services support, proprietary caching and load‑balanced hosting to improve speed and scalability while reducing CPU load. The result: simplified backend administration, faster content updates, improved movie search with personalization, and the ability to handle very large traffic volumes — in 2018 Cineplex sites served ~500M page views, 82M visits and 32M unique visitors — demonstrating Agility CMS’s measurable impact.
