I only recall being here once, but man, what a nostalgic time. I remember being here during the release of the Matrix and Message in a Bottle. Every time I pass this area, from that time to this day, I get so excited. Even this picture is entrancing. I’d like to see a movie in this theater one day, if only I know how to get here by bus.
December 18th, 1998 grand opening ad can now be found in the photo section.
Grand opening ad:
SilverCity Coquitlam 20 opening Fri, Dec 18, 1998 – 39 · The Vancouver Sun (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) · Newspapers.com
This opened on December 18th along with the SilverCity Riverport Expansion of 6 more screens and an IMAX theatre as well as the Cineplex Odeon The Grande at Strawberry Hill 12. In 2016 this became the Cineplex Coquitlam. Grand opening ad posted.
Commercial:
Same commercial, different theatre name.
And to add Mikey, that theatre gained a new label: Cineplex Cinemas Coquitlam and VIP.
I can’t find any pictures of this theatre’s lobby before it was renovated (I think). Was it styled the same way as other SilverCity theatres?
Please change the name to Cineplex Cinemas Coquitlam and VIP.
This theatre’s opening movies include Big and Harry, Life is Beautiful, The Waterboy, You’ve Got Mail, A Bug’s Life, Enemy of the State, The Prince of Egypt, The Rugrats Movie, Star Trek Insurrection, and Jack Frost. There were also sneak previews for Mighty Joe Young (followed by A Bug’s Life) and Stepmom (followed by Enemy of the State).
