in 1933, the company started to distribute all Monogram Pictures/Republic Pictures films in Quebec. in 1937, the company made a Canadian distribution deal with Grand National Pictures, but after Grand National's bankruptcy and beginning of World War II in 1939, Montréal stopped releasing all the Quebecois distribution for Republic/RKO/Monogram films.

Montréal returned to Distribution in 1950, but distributed the Rank Organisation films in Quebec. Montréal distributed all Rank's films for 30 years until Cinépix Film Properties purchased Victory Pictures.

in 1982, the company moved to a new place on 5675 St Laurent Boulevard, Montreal, Quebec. the company purchased their theater chain in 1985 after Montréal's distribution succeeded.

in 1990, Montréal announced a Quebecois deal with independent studio New Line Cinema. the deal lasted until New Line moved to the Downey Studios in 1999.
