Movie Rankings
Here are the TOP FIFTEEN movies based on FoundLocally's analysis of how many screens across Canada show each movie. (Updated Friday May 16, 2008
)
Movie theatres anticipate which movies should draw more people and therefore allocate more screens. We meter
2100 screens across ALL FoundLocally cities.
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.
