I love all your uploads Mike, where do you find them without having to go to a library and look on microfilm?
I uploaded the February 25th, 1964 grand opening ad for both the Theatre and Cinema. The Theatre is an Famous Players and the Cinema is an 20th Century Theatres. I also uploaded the 1986 ad as a six-plex. the border text reads 3+3=Yorkdale 6
Depends on what you think is old Chad, I’m 52 now so I was 12 when the mall and theatres opened. We went there alot when it opened.
Original ad for Yorkdale opening lists the theatre as a twin:

Well if you where living in the Yorkdale area back then in 1964, then you must be a pretty old man now Tim Elliot.
Sorry Chad but if you check the movie pages of February 1964, you will see that the Yorkdale opened as a twin cinema, The Yorkdale and Yorkdale Cinema. The shopping centre opened in Feb 1964 and the twin cinemas opened then. I was there.
Sorry Tim, But your got your story wrong. The Yorkdale was just a single screen movie theater when it opened in December of 1963. It was never twinned until 1979 or 1980. I dont remember them adding anymore screens until 1986.
The Yorkdale actually opened as a Twin in 1964, the larger one called the Yorkdale and the smaller was Yorkdale Cinema. It was later expanded to 3 and then six and closed when the new Silvercity opened.
