Landmark Cinemas

Landmark Cinemas, Inc. is a movie theatre chain that operates 46 theatres across the four western provinces of Canada and in Ontario. The chain was founded in 1965. The company's corporate office is located in Calgary, Alberta.

Acquisitions

Landmark Cinemas' first major expansion took place in 1984, when it purchased most of the Alberta and British Columbia assets of Canadian Odeon Theaters as part of that chain's merger into Cineplex Odeon Corporation, now Cineplex Entertainment.

On June 27, 2013, Landmark Cinemas announced the purchase of 23 theatres in Ontario and Western Canada from Empire Theatres. It later added the Kanata and Whitby locations that were to be sold to Cineplex Entertainment, plus Ottawa's World Exchange Plaza. This transaction made Landmark the second-largest cinema chain in Canada with 54 locations and 359 screens. The sale also included five IMAX screens in Calgary, Kitchener, Whitby, Kingston and Ottawa's Kanata location, and three Empire Extra screens in Calgary, Waterloo, and Ottawa's Orleans location. Empire promotional offers such as Reel Deal Tuesdays and University/College Student Combo were carried over by Landmark, but only some locations offer these discounts.
