Each film or TV series uses a specific number of tickets and gives you a designated time to watch (at least 72 hours for a movie; longer for a TV series). Good news: no holds or waiting lists!

Additionally, Kanopy Kids always has unlimited plays. Here, you'll find curated, ad-free content with fun entertainment (and even a little education snuck in there, too).


And if you're a real film buff, you'll want to keep an eye out for the Big Movie Watch events. Every few months, Kanopy puts up a movie, ticket-free, and you can comment on social media with the hashtag #bigmoviewatch.
