This theatre’s seat count when it opened was 2988. Unfortunately, I don’t know its count after UltraAVX was installed. It also cost CA$4.5 million to build. I got all this info from a Toronto Star article on December 5, 1997, comparing megaplex theatres to cruise ships.
This theatre opened on April 16, 1981. Its opening movies were Tribute, The Jazz Singer, Stir Crazy, Melvin (and Howard), Airplane, The Changeling, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, Popeye, Superman, Flash Gordon, Breaker Morant, and Rockers. I have no idea what exact date this theatre closed because I want to know its final (second-run) movies.
This Cineplex Odeon theatre opened on August 4, 1986. Its opening movies were Back to School (Dolby Stereo), Out of Bounds, Haunted Honeymoon (Dolby Stereo), Howard the Duck (Dolby Stereo), Mona Lisa, and Nothing in Common. Also, please change the name to Imagine Cinemas Promenade as Cadillac Fairview no longer owns the mall.
Before the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival began, this theatre’s final movies were Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Open Range, and Uptown Girls. By the time it closed, it had limited manual wheelchair access.
This famous theatre opened on April 19, 1979, and it was the first theatre Cineplex made. Its opening movies include The Tree of Wooden Clogs, The Shout, Tommy, Newsfront, A Purple Taxi, Rain and Shine, Queen of the Gypsies, and The Rubber Gun. These were pretty obscure movies back in the day. It closed on March 14, 2001. On the day before, its last films include Sugar & Spice, Wonder Boys, All the Pretty Horses, Best in Show, Unbreakable, Head over Heels, Antitrust, Dracula 2000, 102 Dalmatians, The Family Man (Digital), Dude, Where’s My Car?, Vertical Limit (Digital), Proof of Life, Charlie’s Angels, and Meet the Parents. Except for The Family Man and Vertical Limit, all movies used Dolby SR instead of digital sound. In my opinion, the closure news, while sad for many, was not shocking at all. I blame its age and small space more than Famous Players Paramount or any newer cinema. The good news is that I think Cineplex Yonge-Dundas will remain for a long while due to its location. Wishing Cineplex the best of luck in this pandemic.

Famous Players renamed it to SilverCity Burlington on November 29, 2002, after expanding to 12 screens. In 2010, Cineplex changed the Famous Players sign to a SilverCity one.
Theatre rivalries are a bit common for America. Why is AMC keeping this massive 25 screen megaplex when it’s across from the smaller Regal E-Walk 13? After the pandemic eventually ends, which do you guys think would permanently close?
