Effective September 30, 2005. The Fifth Avenue Cinemas in Vancouver is no longer owned by Alliance Atlantis. It has been bought by Festival Cinemas of Vancouver.
Festival Cinemas also operate the Park Theatre in Vancouver which re-opened last Friday after being closed from smoke damage in a fire from an adjoining business.
