Cinema 10 was converted into a digital IMAX theatre on December 5, 2023. Its first film was Godzilla Minus One: The IMAX Experience.

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?

And to add Mikey, that theatre gained a new label: Cineplex Cinemas Coquitlam and VIP.

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.

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.

“One screen was the first to use digital projections in Canada.” Silvercity Riverport had the first DLP installation (they ran Star Wars: Episode II on Cinema #5). I think Coquitlam’s came a few years later.

Mind you, this location will probably be all-digital by year end.
