This cinema opened on December 21, 1990. Its opening films include The Bonfire of the Vanities, The Russia House, Three Men and a Little Lady, The Rookie, Look Who’s Talking Too, and Ghost. Cineplex Entertainment closed it on April 2, 2019, with its final films including Dumbo (also in 3D), The Beach Bum, The Hummingbird Project, Captain Marvel (also in 3D), How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (also in 3D), and Everybody Knows. They closed it as operations moved to Cineplex Park Royal & VIP in West Vancouver.

I see no point in keeping this theatre as Landmark owns a larger cinema nearby (the Grand 10). Not to mention, across the bridge in West Kelowna, Landmark also owns a more modern cinema there with an Xtreme screen. I don’t understand the appeal of this location. Could someone please explain this situation and clear this up?

The extra six screens and the IMAX theatre opened on December 18, 1998. The IMAX’s first features were T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous in 3D and Mysteries of Egypt in 2D. The IMAX closed on January 14, 2001 with its final film being CyberWorld 3D, but was re-opened on November 10, 2004 with The Polar Express in IMAX 3D.

AMC downsized the 30-screen cinema to 13 screens by April 1, 2011 (April Fools Day). It’s kind of fitting, don’t you think. Anyway, I passed by the area in January 2022 and it was (finally) completely demolished.

This cinema’s final day was July 19, 2001. Its final movies were A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, The Fast and The Furious, Cats & Dogs, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Pootie Tang, Scary Movie 2, and Shrek (only one without digital sound). I believe it failed because of heavy competition with AMC Winston Churchill and SilverCity Mississauga nearby.

Cineplex Odeon initially closed this cinema on July 15, 2001, for the same reason why it permanently closed on October 24, 2021, twenty years later.

I was referring to the IMAX theatre. I probably should have given that context.

Its IMAX theatre opened on June 4, 2004, with its first film being Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Its final film was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on October 13, 2005. I think it was short-lived because of Cineplex’s acquisition of this cinema and because it did not do well.

The cinema’s opening movies include The Bear, Family Business, Blaze, We’re No Angels, All Dogs Go to Heaven and The Little Mermaid. Its final day was March 8, 2001, with its closing movies including Dracula 2000, Unbreakable, Head Over Heels, Meet the Parents, 102 Dalmatians, and Vertical Limit. I know it re-opened in 2013 as York Cinemas, but I don’t know specifically since no Toronto newspaper I looked at mentions it.

CorusFTW commented about 410 & 7 Centre Cinemas on Jan 29, 2022 at 9:41 am

This cinema’s opening movies include Wild at Heart, Flatliners, Pump Up the Volume, and Don’t Tell Her It’s Me. All of them were presented in Dolby Stereo. Its final day was February 15, 2001. Its final movies were Dude, Where’s My Car?, Vertical Limit (Digital), The Family Man, and Charlie’s Angels (Digital). There are no late-night showtimes (9 or 10 pm), which I guess was standard for a theatre that’s about to close.

This cinema’s opening movies include Le Déclin de L'Empire Américan, Stand By Me, Armed and Dangerous, Mona Lisa, L'amour Sorcier, and Thérèse.

CorusFTW commented about Centre Laval on Jan 29, 2022 at 9:16 am

This cinema’s final movies include Les Invasions Barbares, The Matrix: Reloaded, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, Bruce Almighty, Alex et Emma, From Justin to Kelly, La Matrice: Rechargée, Rugrats: Go Wild, Alex & Emma, Homicide à Hollywood, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Bruce le Tout Puissant. I believe that Famous Players closed this one because they focused more on the Colossus nearby and avoided competition from Cinémas Guzzo’s Méga-Plex Pont-Viau.

CorusFTW commented about SilverCity Windsor on Jan 29, 2022 at 9:06 am

This cinema’s opening movies include Scream 2, FairyTale: A True Story, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Flubber, The Jackal, The Rainmaker, Bean, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Alien: Resurrection. The IMAX theatre’s first film was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in IMAX 3D. According to some reports about this cinema’s closure, people, even before the pandemic, were going more to the nearby Cineplex Odeon Devonshire Mall because of the recliner seats, D-BOX, and UltraAVX. Cineplex is now talking with IMAX about relocating SilverCity’s installation to Devonshire Mall.
