Exhibitor Cineplex says only TIFF titles that respect"the traditional theatrical model" may play on Scotiabank Theatres screens.
Cineplex, the Canadian exhibition giant that runs Scotiabank, told the Toronto Film Festival this year that Amazon and Netflix titles it programmed for a short run in movie theaters, or none at all, have been barred from its multiplex on Richmond Street that hosts industry and film critic guests. The new P&I policy has forced the Toronto fest to shift industry and press-only screenings for Amazon and Netflix titles two blocks over to Bell Lightbox on King Street.
FilmDailytv As they should be.
ahmmmmmm
TIFF Lightbox is also an industry screening venue.
Pathetic
Stupid move.
is not called show Business for nothing ...
So if Disney called up and said hey we want to show Lady and the Tramp in Toronto they banning them too? Or is this specifically a shot at Netflix and amazon
They can’t handle the competition. scared

I hate how studios and theaters are treating the streaming platform features as step children. Some of the best work I’ve seen recently is from these people. : /
