Landmark Cinemas, Inc. is a movie theatre chain that operates 45 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.
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.
Empire Theatres in Ontario and Western Canada closed on October 29, 2013 after the evening shows which also closed Empire Theatres permanently. On October 31, 2013, the theatres reopened as Landmark Cinemas. The sale closed on October 31, 2013. Branding name changes occurred in 2014 at the former Empire Theatres locations. Landmark Cinemas only operated the World Exchange Plaza theatre on a management contract for two months in 2013, from October 25 to December 29 when its lease expired.
