Does anyone know why this theatre didn’t open with an IMAX theatre? They totally could have made one in the same position as the other Colossus theatres. Guzzo wouldn’t have one until much later, so what’s the deal?
What I meant was that I couldn’t find any photographic evidence that it was branded as a “SilverCity,” as the only photos I could find are its Empire and Landmark years.

Please change the name to “Cineplex Cinemas Southland.” Cineplex likes to streamline the “Cineplex Cinemas” brand.
This theatre was responsible for closing the nearby Famous Players/Cinemas Fortune StarCite. Somehow this theatre got more popular.
