Cinema montreal

Cinema Guzzo: In 1974, Guzzo Cinemas acquired the Cinema Capri on Hochelaga Street, in Montreal and reopened it as ‘Le Paradis’ after extensive renovation. More renovations in 1976 converted it into a movie complex with three screens, the first of its kind in Montreal. There are many other Cinema Guzzo theatres in Montreal, including Brossard and Sainte-Therese. Sainte-Therese began operations in 1993. It flaunts unique architecture, high-tech equipment and an interior décor that has contributions from Quebec and Canada and North America.

Cinema Guzzo is also responsible for starting the trend of ‘99-cent’ movies and the 'half-price weekday’ Wednesday screening. They also started the trend of recreation complexes that not only housed the cinema screens, but also recreational areas and cafes. Mr. Angelo Guzzo is now the largest independent cinema theatre owner in Quebec, with more than 151 cinemas in 12 theatre complexes.
