Chuck1231: The Dolphin has been a twin cinema for as long as I can remember. The operators at times may stagger different first-run movies at different times on the same screen, hence the confusion. The Triple cinema concept at one time was very short lived – about 3 months when an Independent ran the theatre.
Weekend Matinees start times show they have only two screens.
I read that this theatre is slated to close any time now.
There has been an explosion of re-development in this area of town and this property is to be demolished and turned into mixed condo/retail.
The Dolphin Cinema will be closing next week. Article:

I remember when the Dolphin opened, was an Odeon then. Too bad, another one bites the dust. Amazing it lasted this long. Hopefully the Dunbar and Park will last several more years. Too bad the Ridge is gone. Saw The Sound of Music there when I was 14
Park theater is gone; not sure if Dunbar is still in operation.
The Park theatre is STILL open. It’s a Cineplex cinema now…the Dunbar is still operational as well.
Status should now be listed as demolished. The current Google street view shows construction going on at the site of the old Dolphin.
This opened on December 31st, 1965. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Reopened under new management on August 3rd, 1990 after it closed in 1989. Grand opening ad posted.
