The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.
And yet this is the coverage.
My husband went to see Sinners today at the Vaughan Imax location b/c Ryan Coogler said there would be ltd edition film prints for viewers opening weekend and this was the only Canadian location listed. But no prints were available. I need answers @CineplexMovies @warnerbros

This is the most ridiculous, frustrating waste of resources and demonstrates this government’s deep contempt for this city.
NEW: As first reported by Global News, the Ford government has begun the process of removing bike lanes from three Toronto streets: Yonge st., Bloor St., University Ave.

I’m deeply invested. Very few shows have me on my feet yelling at the screen. @netflix imma need y’all to please hurry up and confirm Season 2

Toronto has lost one of its strongest activist and community leaders. He was not only fighting for the Black community but for all Torontonians to be safe from gun violence. RIP Brother Louis! Thank you for the respect @JoannaLavoie cp24.com/news/anti-gun-viole…

It's only gonna get worse.
