1982 grand opening ad in French posted.
Although I had already seen “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” in English the year before, I came to see it here dubbed in French on August 2, 1983 on a subsequent run while I was in town for the Montreal World Film Festival downtown. I also saw the Italian version, I believe at the Riviera in this same city.
Mike Rivest’s list of Montreal theaters says that La Scala opened on May 7, 1949, and operated into 1981. The house became an adult theater called Cinema X for part of 1982, then closed and reopened again on August 27, 1982, as an art house called L'autre Cinema, and operated under that name into 1987.
