Cineplex Overview

About Cineplex

Cineplex is a Canadian entertainment and media company headquartered in Toronto and the country's largest cinema chain, operating 158 theatres as of 2024 and accounting for about 75% of the domestic box office in 2019. Its theatres trade mainly as Cineplex Cinemas, with flagship Scotiabank Theatre sites and Galaxy, SilverCity, Famous Players and VIP Cinemas banners, and include IMAX screens. It also runs The Rec Room and Playdium family entertainment centres, film distributor Cineplex Pictures, digital advertising business Cineplex Media and the Cineplex Store, and co-owns the Scene+ loyalty programme with Scotiabank and Empire. It earns revenue from admissions, food and beverage, amusement and advertising, reporting CA$657 million of revenue in pandemic-hit 2021. The company was formed in 2003 when Onex and Oaktree combined Loews Cineplex's Canadian operations with Galaxy Entertainment, founded in 1999 by Ellis Jacob and Stephen Brown, then acquired Famous Players in 2005 and Empire Theatres locations in 2013. Cineworld agreed to buy it for $2.8 billion in 2019 but abandoned the deal in 2020, and an Ontario court awarded Cineplex damages in 2021. In September 2026 it named former Landmark Cinemas chief Bill Walker CEO and began a strategic review that could lead to a sale.
