The Cinema at The Toronto Dominion Centre is located at the corner of King Street and Bay Street, and opened in 1967.
The Cinema showed movies like "Dead End" starring "Humphrey Bogart" and classic films like "Gone With The Wind".
Famous Players owned the Cinema, which closed in 1978 and had 690 seats in its auditorium.

I loved this theatre.
Surprisingly quiet considering all the streetcars along King Street.
Saw “Bonnie & Clyde” there in 1968 and “The French Connection” in 1972.
Many others that I can’t quite remember.
There was once a restrospective of Goldwyn movies and I saw “Dodsworth” with Walter Huston at that cinema. Those were the days when it was very difficult to see classic movies in Toronto.
Famous Players Theatres had very few theatre failures. The Cinema at the TD Centre in Toronto was one of them. Even it’s name “THE CINEMA” reeks of elitism. Built in the basement of one of Toronto’s largest and earliest office towers in the financial district, what Famous Players couldn’t understand was that people who worked there all day wouldn’t likely go back downtown to see a movie there at night. Famous Players put a lot of money into this theatre, and some of the expensive lobby furnishings, etc. were over the top.
Famous Players was trying to copy Montreal’s Place Ville Marie Cinemas, which was a twin in a office complex built in 1962.
