A lot of mainstream films are shown at the Toronto International Film Festival (where i live). Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were here a couple of years ago, plus Walk the Line (Reese Witherspoon and Joaquim Phoenix), Stranger than Fiction (Emma Thompson and Will Ferrell) and Borat all premiered here. It is one of the largest film festivals around.
