I forgot to mention that when it was owned by Cineplex Odeon it was called the Showcase Cinema.
This theatre was also owned for awhile by Cineplex Odeon in the late 80s/early 90s. It had the exclusive engagement of the Academy Award winning Best Picture of 1987 “The Last Emperor” which I saw there in full 70MM. It was a great location right at the Yonge/Bloor intersection when that was THE centre of moviegoing with the Uptown 5, Towne Cinema, Plaza Twin, Varsity Twin, University and Cumberland 4. Those were the days.
The facade has been saved, but from what I saw through the hoardings, the body of the New Yorker theatre was demolished.
