Movie Theatres in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Movie Theatres in Canada
The Movie Theatres industry in Canada's performance largely depends on the success or failure of major film releases. Although per capita disposable income directly influences households' ability to spend on discretionary services, such as movies, the marketing efforts and popularity of blockbuster films strongly determine revenue, as movie-going is a relatively low-cost entertainment option. Movie attendance has stagnated in recent years, mostly due to external competition from substitute entertainment products and other ways of accessing films. These external forms of competition include online video, on-demand services, internet-enabled TVs, smartphones and tablets. Over the five years to 2024, industry revenue will continue to depend on films' ability to draw attendance and annual studio release schedules. Meanwhile, the trend toward larger multiplexes is expected to continue.The Movie Theatres industry in Canada comprises operators that primarily exhibit movies.
