rivest266 commented about Cinestarz Deluxe Taschereau on Apr 27, 2025 at 10:32 am

This will reopen as the CineStarz Deluxe Taschereau at the end of May featuring a CSX screen.

“Ciné Starz a fait l’acquisition des deux anciens cinémas Guzzo à Longueuil, à Place Jacques-Cartier et dans l’arr. de Greenfield Park. Ceux-ci devraient ouvrir leurs portes d’ici la fin mai.

Les deux cinémas seront nommés CinéStarz Deluxe Longueuil et CinéStarz Deluxe Taschereau. Des films en français et en anglais y seront projetés.

Cette acquisition fait suite à la mise sous séquestre et à la fermeture des cinémas Guzzo.

Les cinémas seront rénovés et seront dotés notamment de nouveaux sièges «de luxe» inclinables, ainsi que des écrans et un son «à la fine pointe de la technologie», indique un communiqué.

«Cette expansion représente plus que l’acquisition de cinémas – c’est une réaffirmation de notre croyance en l’avenir de l’exploitation des salles de cinéma, a affirmé Bruce Gurberg, chef de la direction de Ciné Starz. Nous investissons dans les communautés et la technologie pour nous assurer que nos cinémas restent des centres culturels essentiels.»

Ciné Starz a aussi acquis en février l’ancien cinéma Guzzo à Dollard-des-Ormeaux, devenu le CinéStarz Deluxe Des Sources. Son ‘ouverture est prévue cet été."
