Opened on January 27, 1949, this was one of the original five Odeon theatres in Toronto. Located in Bloor West Village, it was twinned in 1976 and was recently renovated in 1999. This was the last of the original five Odeons left showing movies in Toronto. It closed July 20, 2003 due to declining attendance, but was a great neighbourhood theatre.
Originally planned to reopen in late-2010, it re-opened on April 29, 2011 as the Humber Cinema, operated by the nearby Kingsway Theatre. It was closed again on September 21, 2011, but reopened on November 18, 2011

I think the only reason they dropped One Bloor is because it was no longer Famous Players but Cineplex, who already has the Varsity. What gets me is that at one time Famous Players had ALL the theatres at Yonge/Bloor/Bay except the Varsity. (cumberland4, university, plaza twin, towne cinema, uptown 5) So why Cineplex couldn’t have 2 complexes a block apart is beyond me. The Varsity could have become a classy art house and the new one more Hollywood fare.
Would make sense. They are just starting to break ground at the one Bloor site so there is still a slight chance whether it be Cineplex or Empire to enter a partnership to build a new complex there in the tower. Doubt Rainbow would have the capital to make the move and still a tad close to the Yonge and Dundas AMC to put one there.
Humber will reopen Friday November 18th 2011 with Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

YES!!! This is great news!
Great news indeed! Curious to see the renovations that were performed during the hiatus. Any hints what we can expect?? Will there by fountain drinks available?
Now makes sense for the closure, just to finish with the downstair renos before the Xmas rush. Looking forward to see the finished product.
Status for this should be open. It re-opened on November 18 with the latest “Twilight” movie. From the showtimes, it appears that only one of the screens is open at this time, no word on when the other one will open.
This theatre should be listed as open, it re-opened on November 18 with the latest Twilight movie. One screen open so far.
I am hopeful that the Humber can get the big downstairs theatre going with good equipment. This place has so much potential if done right.
Yeah I noticed in the adds at least the first week or two and the last few that its just one title again. Maybe building up the cash to finish downstairs?
