Scotiabank Theatre

Scotiabank Theatre is a theatre chain in Canada, a joint partnership between Cineplex Entertainment (Cineplex) and Scotiabank. There are ten Scotiabank Theatre complexes, although in the case of Montreal, Cinémas Banque Scotia is the main banner instead. Naming is based on the customer-loyalty program agreement made in 2007 between Cineplex and Scotiabank.

These are the flagship Cineplex theatres for their area/region, and the Scotiabank Theatre brand represents a premium corporate brand within the company, offering corporate and group events to wealthier/privileged clientele such as stockholders and company executives. Each location offers pizza, coffee, TimePlay and one to four premium large format screens featuring IMAX (except for Vancouver and Saskatoon) and one or two UltraAVX screens (except for Ottawa, Winnipeg and Atlantic locations). Non-Atlantic locations, with the exception of Edmonton, feature D-Box motion picture technology in a regular (Ottawa, Montreal and Winnipeg) or UltraAVX (others) theatre. The Saskatoon location, formerly part of Galaxy Cinemas, is the first and currently the only Scotiabank Theatre with VIP auditoriums. In 2016, Cineplex added Barco Escape theatres to several of the complexes.

The first four locations opened in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver by Famous Players as Paramount theatres. The Paramount Theatre banner was the trademark of Paramount Pictures, the film studio of former owner Famous Players' parent company Viacom. In 2005, Viacom sold Famous Players to Cinema Galaxy Income Fund — owner of Cineplex Galaxy Cinemas — creating the company Cineplex Entertainment. The theatres were rebranded as Scotiabank Theatres, under a sponsorship arrangement with Canadian bank Scotiabank. In 2007, Cineplex Entertainment and Scotiabank expanded their partnership by extending the Scotiabank Theatre banner nationwide, including the rebranding of other remaining Paramount Theatre locations, and by launching the "Scene" entertainment rewards program.
