Movie Rankings
Here are the TOP FIFTEEN movies based on FoundLocally's analysis of how many screens across Canada show each movie. (Updated Thursday September 4, 2008
)
Movie theatres anticipate which movies should draw more people and therefore allocate more screens. We track movies on
2100 screens across ALL FoundLocally cities. See local movie listings and our capsule movie reviews & mvoie trailers for these movies.
EDITORS NOTE: But, is that the "chicken" or the "egg"? Some consider it more more relevant
estimate a movie's staying power (ie best viewing bets) and screen percentage AFTER their first weekend of release. This is
more indicative of REAL audience demand, not just the critics' prespective. See how last week's * (new) movies rank in this week's ranking.
