Here is a shot I took on September 28th 2008 I am posting this now because I am moving all of my images over to Flickr and closing my photobucket account.
You can get to it from the Eaton Centre with out going outdoors.
You go through the “Dundas Street Subway Station” it connects the “Eaton Centre” to the “Dundas Square Building”
Here it is from a different angle you get a better view of the old facade under that mesh netting. View link
And here it is from around the back. View link View link
Here is the “Panasonic” as it looks now.
I took this photo July 21st 2008.
You can see the old frontage under the “Mesh” but I think the frontage is all that is left I went around the back and it appears to be total modern.
As seen in June 2008

Here it is showing movies released in 1965 , 1967 and 1969.
Going by that and the hair cuts I am going to guess this is from 1969 or 1970 ?

I wonder if any one has been inside recently?
I would love to see what the interior is looking like.

I have been to three movies in there so far.
My prefered cinema in Toronto was the “Uptown” but now that has gone I like the “Varsity”
Do'h
When “Ian-‘adoraKiaOra” asked if the “AMC Dundas Square” had an entry on this site….
I thought he wanted to know if you could enter it from the “Eaton Centre”

We have a page about it on this board.

When it was “The New Yorker” it had a massive model of “King Kong” climbing the building.
Does anyone know what happened to that?

Now a question if I may..
Does anyone remember a Cinema on the West Side of Yonge south of Dundas before they built the Eaton Centre.
I am sure I remember going to a cinema on the west side of Yonge between Queen and Dundas in the 1970s.
Thank You
The first movie I saw in the Eaton Centre was “The Silent Partner” with “Elliot Gould”
When I went in I didn’t realize that a big part of it had been filmed in the Eaton Centre.
The bank where “Elliot Gould” worked was the “Toronto Dominion Bank” adjacent to the cinema.

I should have said late 1950s.
I have been told that “The Savoy” changed name to “Coronet” in 1963
And in an old postcard.
I am guessing this was in the early 1960s

Another photo from the front.
This is the Cinema I saw “Smokey and the Bandit” in.

Here is the entrance to the Condominium sales Office where the “Uptown” use to be.
