WHO WE ARE:

At Landmark Cinemas, we are the Cast and Crew of Canada's second largest motion picture, theatre exhibition company, and WE love movies as much as YOU love movies…. But it's more than just a movie.

Why the quality of our popcorn matters and why a perfect presentation is understood. Every detail is important to us, which is why we think like owners and remain steadfast in accomplishing our goals. It's why we opened our first theatre in 1965. And why we'll continue making your movie experience the best that it can be.
