Annual Licence

If you plan to show more than one or two movies per year, our Annual Licence is a more cost-effective solution. You may choose from the following options:

Option 1: Home-Release Movies

Gives you access to our library of over 20,000 feature films and programs with new titles continually being added.

Option 2: Pre-Release Movies

Includes access to movies available before the DVD/Blu-Ray or digital release dates, as well as all the movies under Option 1.

Option 3: Criterion-on-Demand (CoD).

Criterion-on-Demand is our very own digital delivery platform and can be added to either Option 1 or Option 2.
We have over 6,500 titles currently on CoD, with many available in French.

Our licence enables you to charge admission so that your costs can be recouped. There is a 35% overage charge on all ticket sales and cash donations, therefore you keep 65%. Contact us for a quote.

Important:

This licence is available to all facilities and is required, according to the Canadian Copyright Act, by those facilities that show movies publicly, regardless of whether admission is being charged. Our goal is to help your film program succeed. We are continually open to suggestions. We promise to listen to any concerns you may have and help in any way we can. Ultimately your success is ours.

"Our Association conducts business with many different companies. Criterion Pictures, by far exceeds in their industry. There are few companies that compare to the dedication of Criterion. Their staff goes beyond helping you in your event..one of the major reasons for our successful movie series is Criterion Pictures. When Criterion states their pre-release dates, they mean it. We have never been disappointed. Their staff will never recommend films that will not be suited to your venue."

"Virgin Radio (formerly MIX96) has worked extremely closely with Criterion Pictures for well over a decade. Year after year, we have worked side by side Criterion Pictures for our highly anticipated summer event - Movies in the Park. Tony and his staff are professional, dependable and reliable! They are devoted and passionate with what they do, and that passion transcends in their work. This is one of the many reasons we come back year after year! Once you get a taste of the best, you can't go anywhere else!"
