It opened October 27, 1989 as Cineplex Odeon Broadway Cinemas with seating provided for 1,121 in the four auditoriums. It was closed in May 2015 for renovations to be carried out and reopened in July 2015 with a reduced seating capacity. It was closed on September 22, 2024.

This theatre is currently closed. As small signs state in the box office, improvements underway. And I could tell that is indeed the case.

Went to see Shaun the Sheep at this place today. It reopened back in mid July. All Cineplex odeon decor is totally gone. AMC said there is more work to be done. I took some cellphone pics.

When I worked for Cineplex Odeon in 1991-1993, this was the seating for the Broadway Cinemas:

1: 176
2: 395
3: 325
4: 225

Theatre 2 was 70mm capable.

Today, the seating has changed:

1: 64
2: 138
3: 120
4: 66

Does anyone know if the 2 upstairs theaters ever had balconies? It looks like it.

Fun fact: I’ve heard that this Cineplex is where Disney held the premiere for Mighty Joe Young in 1998.

According to “Save Arclight Cinemas” “X” posting -this theatre is permanently closed. No details given there, but given the run down nature of this venue and other theatre a couple blocks down might be the reasons. Also can AMC run a theatre with only 4 screens?

It is indeed closed, per the AMC website. AMC has only two 4-screens in operation now, and both were hand-me-downs, just like this one.

I wonder who’s gonna scoop it up!

AMC closed here following the September 22, 2024 showtimes opting not to renew its lease.
