That’s when they close the Empress Walk in Toronto. I wonder if there are others?

Empire Rideau Centre Cinemas will be closed as of March 22, 2013 according to the Empire Theatres website.

Famous Players did indeed originally run the Rideau Centre Cinemas, not Cineplex (at least not until Cineplex briefly took it over after acquiring FP until it turned the theatre over to Empire).

I must correct Mr. Hopkinson’s description above… Rideau Centre Cinemas was NOT built on the site of the old Rideau Theatre. The Rideau Theatre was located at 160 Rideau Street; its building still stands today and is divided into various retail stores.

I thought Rideau Centre was opened by Famous Players and only became Cineplex when they took over FP? Then were sold to Empire when Cineplex had to divest itself of certain locations.
