Status should be changed to Closed. The Paramount is no longer listed at the Landmark website, as the theatre closed its doors on March 28 with plans to redevelop it as a restaurant and possibly other retail (stories below):

Kelowna’s Paramount Theatre will Close at the End of March Historic Paramount Theatre in Kelowna to be redeveloped as restaurant

Also per my earlier post, in the other story linked below, it states that Landmark acquired the Paramount from Famous Players in 1987:

This theatre was purpose built by Famous Players Canadian Corporation. The Famous Players booking department referred to this as one of their “up country” locations in British Columbia!!!

Famous Players ran this theatre in its earlier years, at least until the late-1980s.

Hi all, I am new to the site and looking for help. I am a researcher on a book dealing with cinema in British Columbia. I would love to include reminiscences about specific theatres, photos, or any information about how film and theatres in general affected your life and/or community. This would include rented films, documentaries from libraries, as well as local theatres or film study groups. Any information you would like to share would be most welcome.

Anyone interested can contact me at

Thanks for sharing your love of movies!
