What does cineplex mean?

1 published definition

cineplex

A movie theater in Plaza Naco where preppy kids from the Naco and Piantini neighborhoods gathered on weekend nights during the late 80s and early 90s (Naco and Piantini are upscale areas in Santo Domingo). These youths went there to hang out outside the building to show off their new clothes and act like big shots. The place would get so crowded outside that no one actually bought tickets, which eventually led the cinema to go bankrupt. It was also common for guys to start fistfights there just to show off and impress others.

1: Hey, let's go to cineplex. 2: What movie is playing? 1: What movie? Hell no, we are going to stand outside so people see us and we can act like big shots. 2: Oh, okay, let's go pose then.
