What ratings and advisories mean


Here are the TOP FIFTEEN movies based on FoundLocally's analysis of how many screens across Canada show each movie. (Updated Thursday December 4, 2008 )

Movie theatres anticipate which movies should draw more people and therefore allocate more screens. We track movies on 2100 screens across ALL FoundLocally cities. See local movie listings and our capsule movie reviews & movie trailers for these movies.

EDITORS NOTE: 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. See how last week's * (new) movies rank in this week's ranking.
