TORONTO — The all-you-can-watch company MoviePass that's been dubbed by some as a "Netflix for theatres" hasn't revealed plans to come to Canada, but its competitor has quietly launched here. Sinemia, founded by Turkish entrepreneur Rifat Oguz, provides a service that it says is more sustainable and less too good to be true. Sinemia also operates in Turkey, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States, where it's facing a patent infringement lawsuit. No partnership with CineplexThus far, while Sinemia offers tickets to Cineplex's venues, there's no partnership in place with the country's dominant theatre chain. Rifat Oguz, Sinemia founderMost of the chatter has been positive, although some have posted about customer service issues, including receiving order confirmation messages in Turkish.
