To clarify, National General Cinemas opened the theatre with one screen on August 13, 1969, with its opening film being “Krakatoa, East of Jawa” in Cinerama. Canadian Theatres took over in 1975. It later merged with Odeon Theatres of Canada in 1978, forming Canadian Odeon Theatres. In 1984, Canadian Odeon and Cineplex merged, forming Cineplex Odeon. This cinema expanded to four screens on December 22, 1989, reopening with “She-Devil,” “The War of the Roses,” “The Wizard,” and “Always.” The original screen was split to become screens 2 and 3, while the two additional screens were 1 and 4. On August 28, 1998, four more screens were added, now totalling eight. It reopened with “There’s Something About Mary,” “Small Soldiers” (matinees), “Why Do Fools Fall in Love,” “Madeline” (one early matinee), “The Mask of Zorro” (afternoon and evening), “Ever After,” “54,” “Blade” (evening), “Saving Private Ryan,” and “Dance with Me.” On September 30, 2005, it was sold to Empire Theatres. On October 31, 2013, it was sold to Landmark Cinemas.

In the bird’s-eye view I posted, it appears theatres 2 and 3 occupy the original single screen auditorium.

Theatres 1 and 4 added in 1989. Theatres 5 through 8 added 1998.

This is a really great theatre.

Landmark Cinemas took over the Grant Park 8 in 2013 following the split of Empire Theatres' assets, so this would now be the Landmark Grant Park.
