This theatre opened on May 19, 1999, with Star Wars-Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Tea with Mussolini, Life is Beautiful, The Red Violin and Encounter of the Third Dimension in IMAX.
This cinema actually opened on September 29, 1989. The Grand Opening advert even said so. It opened with War Party, Sea of Love, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Welcome Home, and Millennium.
This theatre opened on April 6, 2001, with Blow, Along Came a Spider, The Tailor of Panama, Pokemon 3: The Movie, Blow Dry, Just Visiting, Heartbreakers, Spy Kids, Exit Wounds, Traffic, Tomcats, Someone Like You, See Spot Run and Get Over It. It has stadium seating with AMC Love Seats and Sony Dynamic Digital Sound.
Colossus opened on February 12, 1999, with My Favorite Martian, Message in a Bottle, Life is Beautiful, Shakespeare in Love, She’s All That, Payback, Blast From the Past, Rushmore, Saving Private Ryan, Thin Red Line, The Prince of Egypt, The Red Violin, T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous and Special Effects, the latter two were presented in IMAX. All cinemas were THX certified and have digital sound (mostly Dolby Digital).
This theatre opened on November 24, 1999, with End of Days, Flawless, The Insider, Princess Mononoke, Felicia’s Journey, Three to Tango, Music of the Heart, The Best Man, House on Haunted Hill, Drive Me Crazy, The Story of Us, American Beauty, Blue Streak, Bats, Stigmata, Three Kings, Superstar, The Limey, Mystery Alaska, Random Hearts, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, Stir of Echoes and The Thomas Crown Affair. It opened with stadium seating with AMC Love Seats and Sony Dynamic Digital Sound. It competed with Famous Players Oshawa Centre until 2002 when they started showing the same films. Why is that?
Why is Cineplex keeping this former AMC despite also having Cinema Banque Scotia nearby on the same street. This feels like a Yonge-Dundas vs Scotiabank situation in Toronto. Am I right?
The previous Famous Players Pickering opened on March 6, 1998, with these films: U.S. Marshals, Krippendorf’s Tribe, Hush, Twilight, The Big Lebowski, Dangerous Beauty, Flubber and L.A. Confedential. (*) denotes digital sound (I’m guessing Dolby Digital).
This theatre opened with these movies with () denoting Digital Projection and (^) denoting VIP: The Golden Compass^, The Mist, Hitman, Enchanted, Beowulf*, No Country For Old Men, Fred Claus, August Rush^ and American Gangster^.
Out of all Scotiabank Theatres, this is the only one named after the mall it’s located in. There are Scotiabank Theatres in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, St. John’s, and Chinook. I predict that sometime soon, this will be renamed Scotiabank Theatre Calgary.

I have an idea: raise your hand if you think that Colossus on the other side caused AMC Interchange to close.
Why is Cineplex keeping this one open despite not being too far away from Cineplex Odeon Devonshire Mall?
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?
I can’t find any photos on the internet of this theatre before Empire Theatre’s takeover. Did this theatre have SilverCity or Famous Players branding?
Why did Cineplex continue to operate this one despite another newer theatre (Yonge-Eglinton) bringing in the crowds?
In terms of layout, this theatre is a mirror image of Coliseum Scarborough (Cineplex Cinemas Scarborough).

The name should be changed to Cinéma Famous Player Carrefour Angrignon.
The name should be changed to Cinéma Cineplex Quartier Cavendish
I think this cinema held the premiere of “The Wiggles Movie” on December 18, 1997, as it was the only movie theatre in the City Centre at the time.
This theatre specifically opened on February 19, 1999 with the movie “Office Space” and one week after Colossus opened in Vaughan.
