The Centre Mall 8 was known as the Centre Twin when it opened back in 1969.
In 1989, the twin added six more screens to its theater and became known as the Centre Mall 8.
The theatre closed in 2001 and, in a trend that was once immensely popular around the United Kingdom, became a bingo palace.

I miss this theatre. My friends and I used to go in and pay for one movie, and see two or three. Very easy to sneak around there. Maybe that is one reason it closed??? I feel bad now!!!
This theatre’s status should be changed to closed/demolished. It was torn down in the spring of 2006 to make way for a $100 million renovation of the Centre Mall properties.
This was the 2 screen theatre I saw the original STAR WARS at least 12 times or so in the summer of 1977.
The addition of the former Canadian Tire store on the west side of the original theatre added the extra 6 small screens.
It has been completely demolished now. Not any great loss as a historical building, but still fondly remembered by me at least.
I miss this theatre soo much. Fiesta Mall and Center Mall are gone now and I mourn their passing.
I remember…ah, the good old days. I remember when the twin cinemas opened here—the first twin theaters in the city. They were call the Centre Twin Cinemas, and the auditoriums were named EAST and WEST (they faced south). They were run by NGC (National General Cinemas?). They were both great theaters, and pretty big. I remember skipping school to see “The Godfather” at a Wednesday matinee…too busy at night. And “Blazing Saddles” ran for over a year! Kids, them was the days when a movie didn’t open on two thousand screens across North America. Then “Jaws” came out the next year and changed all that! Right? I saw “Star Wars” there, too.
