Up against thousands of others, including huge urban multiplexes, the Royal Theatre placed an impressive No. 7.

香蕉视频直播淐hatelaine reached out to us at the beginning of December to let us know they were writing an article on the 10 best movie theatres in the country and that we were on the list,香蕉视频直播� Lisa Milne, owner of the Royal Theatre, shared.

香蕉视频直播淲e are thrilled with this achievement,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淎nd when the list came out, and only had three true independent theatres on it, we were pretty humbled. To be recognized for this has been terrific.香蕉视频直播�

On the heels of this good news story, is an unsettling one that Milne and her staff are still reeling from. Back in October, the theatre was broken into, property was stolen, and the interior vandalized.

So national recognition of just how wonderful the Royal Theatre is, came at a time they all really needed a boost of confidence.

香蕉视频直播淭o have our sense of security taken away from us in just one night has been harder then I would have thought. The Royal Theatre prides itself on being a safe family environment so to be recognized in an article like this helps to reinforce our vision to provide the best movie experience for our patrons.香蕉视频直播�

Throughout the year, there香蕉视频直播檚 always something to see on the Bay Avenue screen, no matter the age.

From matinees for families to the more mature audience, independent films to block busters, even live productions from the Met Opera, Bolshoi ballet and New York or London stage - that香蕉视频直播檚 just a short list of the Royal香蕉视频直播檚 line-up.

香蕉视频直播淣ext year will be 10 years we have owned the Royal Theatre and we are proud to have taken this journey with Greater Trail movie patrons,香蕉视频直播� Milne said.

香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 more to come for the Royal in the future - so stay tuned and see what this old gal still has up her sleeve!香蕉视频直播�

The Royal Theatre was up against some stiff competition, including the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, which placed second. This place hosts the biggest movie stars for the annual Toronto International Film Festival and features five screens, two restaurants, and a film reference library.

However,the number one movie theatre on Chen香蕉视频直播檚 list is another B.C. cinema - The Patricia Theatre in Powell River.
