  • only 26 theatres currently operating in Canada

    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts...er-moviegoing/

    According to the Movie Theatre Association of Canada, there are only 26 theatres currently operating in the country: three on Prince Edward Island, three in Newfoundland, five in New Brunswick, 15 in Saskatchewan.
    I don't know how they're counting -- if they're going by number of screens or number of buildings that call themselves a theatre.

    According to http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/canada/saskatchewan there are 45 active theatres in Saskatchewan, so if they're counting buildings then Saskatchewan is at 33% open and operating but almost no other province has anything at all. If they're counting screens then the percentage is a lot smaller.

    Either way, we're the center of the movie universe now.

    Overall, cinematreasures says there are 591 active theatres in Canada, so there are only 4% open nationally.
