Québec, June 1, 2026. – In 2025, Québec movie theatres recorded 11.5 million admissions, down 15% from 2024 (13.5 million) and 39% from 2019 (18.7 million), the pre-pandemic reference year.
After an increase in 2024, the number of screenings declined by 19% in 2025 and was 27% below the 2019 level. This information comes from the publication La fréquentation des cinémas en 2025 produced by the Observatoire de la culture et des communications of the Institut de la statistique du Québec.

Québec films down
Following an exceptional year in 2024, the market share of Québec films in theatrical attendance decreased by six percentage points to 9% (15% in 2024). Only two Québec films—Menteuse and Ma belle-mère est une sorcière—generated more than $1 million in revenues, which explains the decline from 2024, as five Québec films surpassed the million-dollar mark that year. These two films alone brought in $3.3 million in revenues, more than a third of the total revenues for Québec films in 2025.
