The theatre was operated by the Odeon and Loews Cineplex chains until 2003.

[2] It was operated for decades by the Odeon cinema chain, was closed in 2003, abandoned, and re-opened by new owners in 2011, after a $350,000 renovation.

[2][1] According to Doug Taylor, author of Toronto's Local Theatres of Yesteryear, operator Rui Pereira preserved the upper auditorium, but split the lower auditorium into four smaller auditoria.

[3] The reopening was a success, so local residents were concerned when Plazacorp, the sites owner, planned to tear down the building, to build high-rise condominiums.

[4] Local city councillor Sarah Doucette asked Plazacorp to incorporate a replacement cinema into its designs.
