Clarification
Can the last paragraph of Consolidation be clarified? After reading it a few times, I'm assuming that the "Loews" is referring to an American counterpart, as it says earlier that Loews became Cineplex Galaxy. SKS2K6 05:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

The multiple references to AMC make this section impossible to understand - what is this meant to be saying 92.236.57.236 (talk) 12:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

The section about the brands is a bit confusing. Colossus, Coliseum and SilverCity were all originally Famous Players brands, but this is not made clear by the article Ergosteur (talk) 03:08, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

-The entire section is terribly written and very difficult to follow. Should be re-written by someone with some understanding of it, the facts are too buried and obscured to re-write based on the article itself. Fruitbatnt (talk) 17:14, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Famous Players
Hello. I and some others are working on an article for the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, formerly the Stanley, a Famous Players cinema in Vancouver. Would anyone like to help out? The more the merrier! Anyway, in my research I came across this statistic that you may want to use in your article: "the Famous Players' theatre chain shrank from 419 in 1954 to 196 in 1969." from page 3 of http://www.southgranville.org/pdfs/sgbia_newsletter_april2007web.pdf Moisejp (talk) 02:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Market capitalization
Perhaps we could change this to Canadian currency, since this is a Canadian company. NorthernThunder (talk) 22:19, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The standard here is to use international dollars. Ok?

controversy
I don't know about everyone else, but I wouldn't really call refusing to play a religious ad controversial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charwinger21 (talk • contribs) 15:07, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree; it seems like a stale piece of recentism, with no long-term notability. I have therefore boldly removed it as part of my copyedit. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 04:20, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Cancellation of sale to Cineworld
You can't trust the accounting of a cash business in tribal hands, the books of Cineplex are blahooie.

But it will take years for this to come out in the courts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:2A40:40C:F4EE:A14B:69F4:D961 (talk) 02:29, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

The Brits bought Cineplex and suddenly, the pandemic forced the closure of cinemas. Hmmm, what to do... Oh, yeah, don't pay the Canadians and claim they violated the sale agreement. (To this day, cinemas are closed but that is not the fault of Cineplex.) Peter K Burian (talk) 02:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Theatre counts?
The "Branding" section of the article enumerates the number of theatres for each brand. Since there are no tags or other dates, I'm concerned that this information may be out of date. Can someone verify the current theatre counts for each brand? // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 04:20, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It may take a while, but a search through their website would certainly yield the results you are looking for. Snake  Chess  5  07:09, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Scotiabank Theatre
As the link above shows, there is a page currently listed on Wikipedia specifically for Scotiabank Theatre Toronto, however it is not specified as such. I opened up a discussion directed at the folks supposedly in charge of looking after the page over at WikiProject Toronto. Given that it is a location within the Cineplex company, I figured you might want to make note of this. The page in question presents itself as the exclusive Scotiabank Theatre location, when in fact it is one of eight. It should be one of eight pages on Wikipedia and thus retitled Scotiabank Theatre Toronto, or retooled to focus specifically on the Scotiabank Theatre brand and the eight locations under it, or simply be removed altogether.
