The incident happened at a cinema near East Beaver Creek Road and Highway 7 at around 11:10 p.m. on Sunday.
In the video released by police, two suspects are seen arriving at the theatre in a grey SUV and then walking into its lobby.
One of the suspects then places a bag on the ground beside some movie posters.
At that point, both suspects light what appear to be Molotov cocktails and toss them at the bag, causing it to ignite.
The suspects then run out of the theatre and get into the awaiting SUV, which speeds away from the scene.
The whole incident unfolds in approximately 22 seconds.
Police say that the sprinkler system was activated and extinguished the fire.
“There were occupants in a second-floor theatre, however, there were no injuries,” a press release issued on Tuesday notes.
Police say that the vehicle that the suspect arrived in is a grey Acura RDX that was reported stolen in Toronto two days prior.
Police say the first suspect had a medium build and was last seen wearing black shoes, black pants, a black hooded sweatshirt with a white shirt underneath, black gloves and a mask.
The second suspect is also described as having a medium build. He was last seen wearing white shoes, black pants, a grey hooded sweatshirt, black gloves and a mask.

A man was taken to University Medical Center to be treated for minor smoke inhalation. The injured man told authorities that a friend, also middle-aged, set the apartment on fire after an argument. New Orleans police have identified the suspect, who is wanted on an aggravated arson charge, and are actively searching for him.
A fire inside an apartment building was quickly put out Wednesday morning.
It happened about 4:30 a.m. in Cross Lanes.
The Nitro Fire Department said it happened at Cross Lanes Unity Apartments.
Firefighters said the sprinkler system put out the fire.
All 27 people inside were forced to leave the building. No one was injured.
Most of those were able to go back in once the building was ventilated.
The Nitro fire chief said the sprinkler system probably saved lives.
Firefighters said the fire started when someone in one of the apartments was smoking while in bed.
Bradford Fire and Emergency Services crews were called to 100 Miller Park Ave. shortly after 10 p.m. They arrived on scene to find a fire in the bedroom of a third-floor unit.
The department says there was one person in the apartment and they were taken by County of Simcoe paramedics to hospital.
“Sprinklers helped contain the fire to the room of origin,” Fire Chief Michael Rozario said Tuesday morning. “There is water damage in several units below.”
The affordable-housing complex is operated by the Simcoe County Housing Corporation, a division of the County of Simcoe.
Rozario says affected residents are receiving support from the county.
County social housing director Brad Spiewak says water from the sprinkler system damaged three other units, but no residents were displaced.
“Our building fire systems were immediately activated containing the fire to one unit,” he said. “One resident stayed offsite to allow for further cleanup. Social services staff were on-site until Tuesday morning for clean up and to ensure the safety of all residents and work continues today and into this week. All efforts are being made to move affected residents back into their unit as quickly as possible.
“Thankfully, no residents reported serious injury.”
Multiple fire crews from Moorhead and Dilworth responded to an apartment fire early Tuesday Morning.
Fire officials say crews responded to an apartment complex in the 1600 Block of 3 Ave NW just before 1:30 a.m.
Fire officials say the fire was near a window of an apartment. One window broke due to the heat of the fire but officials say thanks to the sprinkler system the fire was contained to one area and didn’t spread.
The total extent of damage is unknown at this time. The investigation has now been turned over to Dilworth Police as they work to locate the resident of the apartment.
The first unit on scene, E4, arrived to find the apartment building being evacuated.
No smoke or fire conditions were visible outside the building, but RFD crews proceeded to apartment #308 where according to RFD, “a slight haze and odor of burnt food was noticeable.”
In the apartment, RFD identified a cooking fire that had been extinguished by the activation of the sprinkler system. Crews ventilated the apartment and worked to remove water from the building.
No injuries occurred, and there was moderate water damage in the affected apartment.
RFD says sprinkler systems are exceptionally reliable, such that the chance of dying in a fire is reduced by 90% when sprinklers are installed in a building. According to the NFPA, property damage in dollars is reduced by up to two-thirds depending on occupancy type when sprinklers are present.
Menards in Moorhead is open for business as usual despite a fire in the store early this morning.
According to Moorhead Fire Department, the fire started in the electrical section of the store.
Fire crews reported fire, smoke, and water damage to store displays and merchandise.
Crews could be seen cleaning up water from the store’s sprinkler system, which received the credit for extinguishing the fire.
“That ignition started about 4:30 and sprinkler heads activated at 4:45. So it just sort of sat there and kind of didn’t get the heat all the way yet until it became a bigger fire,” said James Garvey, Moorhead Fire Marshal.
No one was hurt in the fire. A damage estimate is not currently available.
