The [[Broadway Theatre (Saskatoon)|Broadway Theatre]] primarily shows [[art film|arthouse films]] – while the two-screen [[Roxy Theatre (Saskatoon)|Roxy Theatre]] is an "atmospheric-style" [[discount theater|second-run theatre]] that reopened in 2005 after sitting unused for over a decade. The remainder of the city's theatres are [[multiplex (movie theater)|multiplexes]]. The only movie theatre in the [[Central Business District, Saskatoon|downtown]] core is the [[Cineplex Entertainment|Scotia Bank VIP Theatre]]; the [[Empire Theatres|Capitol 4]] shut down on April 3, 2008.<ref>{{cite news
