Closed as a movie theater on November 23, 1986 with “Crocodile Dundee” and “The Color Of Money".
Famous Players operated the Paramount throughout almost its entire life, with the exception of its final year of operation when the Paramount was briefly operated by Cineplex Odeon until its closure. Following its closure, both of its final films mentioned on the previous comment were moved to the Lansdowne Cinemas nearby.
Famous Players opened the Paramount on December 5, 1948 with Bing Crosby in “The Emperor Waltz” along with the Paramount Noveltoon “Circus Comes To Clown”, the Paramount short “The Flying Wing”, and Paramount News. It originally housed 950 seats featuring Simplex projection and a plastic screen.
