Page "Empire Theatres" Paragraph 6

On August 22, 2005, Empire announced it would acquire 27 theatres, with a total of 202 screens, in locations stretching from British Columbia to Ontario, from Cineplex Galaxy LP, as a result of the latter's acquisition of Famous Players Theatres, effectively doubling Empire's size.

Most of the locations are smaller " traditional " venues, but some are larger theatres, such as Coliseum Calgary ( Now Studio 10 MacLeod Trail ), Silvercity theatres in Kitchener and St. Catharines, as well as one in Calgary, Alberta ( Now Empire Theatres Kitchener, Empire Theatres Pen Centre, and Studio 16 respectively ), and Square One in Mississauga ( Now Studio 10 Square One ), and Silvercity Empress Walk ( now Empire Empress Walk ) in North York, ON.

The deal closed September 30, 2005.
