Movie theatres are called the silver screen because there was a time (1920's) when silver was actually used to make the screens. It was used in the production because of it's shiny and reflective quality. Nowadays other materials are used but the name stayed.

What does the expression the silver screen mean?
The silver screen is a way of referring to the large screens in movie theaters and to the people and industry that produce the films shown on them. Actors and actresses in films are sometimes called 'stars of the silver screen' or 'stars of stage and screen'. Theater movie screens are highly reflective as you can imagine, and sometimes give a silvery appearance or sparkle depending on the angle of the light and where you are when you see them. Sometimes a small flaw in a screen will produce a bright twinkle throughout a movie.
