Locations
The chain currently operates Rainbow Cinemas theatres in London, Ottawa, Regina, Saskatoon (2), Sudbury, Thornhill, and Toronto (2), and Magic Lantern Theatres in Camrose, Peace River, St. Paul, Whitecourt and Toronto. As well, in Edmonton, Magic Lantern operates the Princess, in the Old Strathcona arts district. Magic Lantern was responsible for restoring the interior of the formerly derelict Garneau Theatre, near the University of Alberta in Edmonton. It managed this location until June 2011, when its exterior was restored and the theatre was taken over by Metro Cinema Edmonton, a local nonprofit.
In 2010, the company acquired the Carlton Cinemas theatre in downtown Toronto, a historic venue for independent and arthouse films which was closed by Cineplex Odeon in fall 2009. The theatre reopened as part of the Magic Lantern chain on June 30, 2010 with a two-day program of free films, including Crazy Heart, Chloe, A Single Man, Departures, Julie and Julia, Away from Her and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
