Cineplex Odeon said it is taking legal action.

The company, one of North America’s largest motion picture exhibitors, said it has filed an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia for damages and an injunction against Paramount Pictures and De Laurentiis Entertainment Group seeking to restrain Paramount from distributing De Laurentiis’ films in Canada. Cineplex contends that its Canadian film distribution company had already secured a two-year agreement to distribute De Laurentiis films in Canada.
