Opened October 23, 1998, this theatre was the largest in Canada (for only 1.5 months.) This was the first Mega-Plex Guzzo which features a small indoor amusement park inside the lobby.
This theatre was owned by Le Cinemas Guzzo, the biggest circuit in the Montreal area. It was closed on February 5, 2025.

Sorry, never mind the employee part since they are private security guards not some teenage employee.
October 23rd, 1998 grand opening ad has been posted here.
IMAX coming to this Guzzo http://www.cinemasguzzo.com/en/IMAX.html
This theatre’s opening movies include Apt Pupil (Dolby Digital), Air Bud: Golden Receiver (Dolby Stereo), Blade (Dolby Digital), Bride of Chucky (Dolby Digital), Dance with Me (Dolby Digital), Ever After (Dolby Digital), Madeline (Dolby Digital), Rounders (Dolby Digital), Saving Private Ryan (Dolby Digital), There’s Something About Mary (Dolby Digital) and Without Limits (Dolby Digital). I feel that when it opened, it was split between first-run and second-run movies.
Grand opening ad in French:
CorusFTW, when it opened it had to contend with the two big boys at the time, Famous Players and Cineplex Odeon, which had locations nearby.
Also posted its French-language grand opening ad.
Guzzo closed all its IMAX screens per official website (no showtimes). Willing to bet this cinema will not make it through 2025 as a Guzzo.

“ MEGA-PLEX TASCHEREAU 18
I don’t know exactly where I am on the South Shore. On Taschereau Boulevard, everything is mixed together: a succession of cloned restaurants, separated by huge parking lots. But here I am in front of the cinema. The facade, marked by time, also displays its share of burnt-out light bulbs and graffiti under the awning. However, inside, surprise: it is not the gloomy decor I expected. Better still, a line stretches out in front of the canteen. A handful of moviegoers, faithful to their post, ready to butter their fingers. Life, finally.”

Cinemas Guzzo closes all its cinemas on orders of the bankruptcy court.
