Independent Canadian Exhibitors Operating at a Loss
A study from the Network of Independent Canadian Exhibitors says that 60 per cent of independent cinema operators surveyed between December and February operated at a loss at the end of their most recent fiscal year. About two-thirds of the 67 respondents reported that they need increased public funding to remain operational. It was estimated that they would need about $50,000 in extra funding annually for three years to close the immediate gaps they face.
