Cineplex closes all locations

Canada’s largest movie theatre chain is closing its 165 locations nationwide in response to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The closures will remain in effect until at least April 2. The chain also plans to temporarily shutter entertainment complexes the Rec Room and Playdium.

Cineplex represents about 75 percent of the Canadian film theatre market across the country.

Landmark, Canada’s second largest theater chain, is also closing all 46 of their locations.
