The “Red Carpet”, Flagship and “Blue Ribbon” were not chains but sets of movies from an studio that a theatre rented.
7 stadium seating cinemas in 2007.

This theatre was sold to Dickinson theatres in 2006 to pay for the expansion of the Fremont cinemas.
I also noticed that all the English language movies moved to Place Charest from Ste Foy 14. In the early 1990’s all the English movies were at Place Quebec and Cinéma de paris.
