I have an idea: raise your hand if you think that Colossus on the other side caused AMC Interchange to close.
Why is Cineplex keeping this one open despite not being too far away from Cineplex Odeon Devonshire Mall?
I can’t find any pictures of this theatre’s lobby before it was renovated (I think). Was it styled the same way as other SilverCity theatres?
I can’t find any photos on the internet of this theatre before Empire Theatre’s takeover. Did this theatre have SilverCity or Famous Players branding?
Why did Cineplex continue to operate this one despite another newer theatre (Yonge-Eglinton) bringing in the crowds?
In terms of layout, this theatre is a mirror image of Coliseum Scarborough (Cineplex Cinemas Scarborough).
