US EditionTrade war supercharges Montreal Comiccon attendance, spokesman says
MONTREAL, CANADA, JUL 5 – Montreal Comiccon plans to expand its event after a 25 percent attendance boost linked to the U.S. trade war, organizers say.
- Montreal Comiccon held its 15th edition over a summer weekend at the Palais des Congrès with large crowds attending the pop culture event.
- The event attracted a large crowd partly because tensions between the U.S. and Canada have discouraged travel to the south, making Montreal a more appealing destination.
- Fans including groups dressed as ReBoot characters and Star Wars enthusiasts lined up to meet headliners such as Ian McDiarmid and Lord of the Rings actors.
- Comiccon expected nearly 65,000 attendees over three days, with spokesperson Jason Rockman noting that Friday’s attendance may have already broken records.
- This year’s record attendance suggests the event benefits from its timing, unique guests, and a weaker Canadian dollar attracting both Canadian and American fans.
