Get to the Movie at Cineplex Calgary

More Calgary entertainment.

Check out the Cineplex Calgary movie theatres near you if you wanna know where you can see that hot new film.   Ciniplex may be the largest Theater Corporation in the area.

Cineplex Entertainment LP of Toronto operates large multi-screen movie complexes in such places as Calgary, Alberta. Nathan Taylor, the inventor of the multi-screen theater, and Garth Drabinsky opened the first Cineplex in 1979.

The Cineplex showed us the largest screen size for years and started up in the basement of the Toronto Eaton Centre.

With competition between Cineplex, Famous Players and Canadian Odeon heating up, Cineplex decided to purchased Canadian Odeon to become a major participant.

And then with the help of the Bronfman family, Cineplex and Famous Players became a highly powerful duopoly.

Cineplex grew to over 130 locations with more than 1200 screens, making it the largest Theater Corporation in Canada. Famous Players has felt the squeeze, but you can still visit the Famous Players Paramount in Calgary. Keep your eye on the Paramount Chinook location as well.

See this map for the movie theatres, including Calgary Cineplex locations.
