Elite Theatre

Elite Theatre is a Canadian motion picture exhibition brand operating a cinema in Saint Paul, Alberta. The venue is part of Magic Lantern Theatres, a Canadian cinema chain established in Edmonton in 1984 with a stated mandate of reviving friendly, neighbourhood cinemas. According to the theatre's own website, the Elite Theatre is located downtown and contains three auditoriums equipped with DTS digital sound; all auditoriums are fully wheelchair accessible. The cinema maintains a toll-free movie information line so that out-of-town customers can check showtimes free of charge. The theatre's programming is mainstream commercial cinema, with showtimes listed for titles such as Avengers: Endgame, Forgotten Island and Resident Evil. Matinees are held every Sunday afternoon and on selected days when children's films are playing. The venue actively courts families: birthday parties are welcomed, and a special family admission price is offered so that large families can attend at a bargain price at any time. Tuesday is a discount night, with all seats priced at $6. Beyond standard film exhibition, Elite Theatre markets its space for alternative uses. It offers private rentals, giving a group private access to an auditorium to watch a film; auditorium rental for private events such as meetings, conferences or gaming; school and daycare activities; and on-screen advertising. The theatre also runs a movie club sign-up for showtimes. Elite Theatre sits within Magic Lantern Theatres, which describes itself as operating 10 cinema locations with 29 screens across Canada. The brand should not be confused with a former cinema of the same name in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, which is a separate, defunct venue recorded in Wikidata.
