This theatre has been heavily renovated into a sort of VIP Theatre. New seats and decor. A lounge with food and drink has been added.

The sale now appears to be official, as the Festival Cinemas website says that the 5th Avenue is now part of Cineplex Entertainment.

This theatre was built by Leonard Schein and eventually it became a partnership situation of Famous Players Canadian Corporation!!

Actually Chuck, the smallest screen ( #1 ) has 88 seats.

The numbers out there are from when the place opened in 1996, but the seats were replaced in 2006.

The Big house ( #3 ) has around 320 now.
