According to the following articles from the Regina Leader-Post (one of which is also posted in the article photo section), the Roxy was destroyed by fire on December 30, 1977:
Judging from the size of this auditorium, under the old seating schematics with traditional cinema seating (i.e. not those bulky, space-consuming luxury recliners), it could have held 500 or more seats.
The original post at the top is correct. The former site of the Birchcliff Theatre, at 1535 Kingston Road (per Google Maps - postal code M1N 1R5), is now the location of Station 42 of the Toronto Paramedic Services, built there after the Birchcliff was demolished in 1977, so this theatre’s status needs to be changed to Demolished.
Famous Players owned this theatre during its cinema days, per Mike Rivest’s site. It first ran as the Palace until about 1950, then was renamed the Park and ran under that name until it closed around 1985.
A photo of the Galaxy from June 2009, during the theatre’s last months in business, is now up in the photo section; that photo confirms what I first posted in 2012 at the top of the comment section about the Galaxy always being only a twinplex, never a four-screener.
As far as I saw from the most recent Google street view, the Empire Theatre building no longer houses a gymnasium, but it does have local radio studios and a news bureau for Radio-Canada on the 3rd Avenue side of the building, along with a spa, a hair salon and offices at the back end of the building on the Balsam Street side.
According to current Google Maps views and information, the gymnasium is no longer in the Victory Theatre building, which has since been converted into office and retail spaces, including a Rexall drugstore on the main floor which opened around 2017. The current Rexall space was also previously the location of a Royal Bank branch before that branch relocated prior to 2016.
The specific closure date for the Haida was May 12, 1992 as a result of the discovery of structural problems with the theatre’s roof, which would have made it vulnerable to collapse due to either heavy snowfall or an earthquake.
jwmovies, the theatre you’re thinking of that has three screens is not the Baronet and Coronet (which is actually further to the right in the picture, displaying the banner featuring the movie Shrek on its front above the theatre’s marquee (which identifies it at this point as Coronet I & II).
This theatre should be set to Demolished. While the theatre building was still standing in August 2017 (as shown in a Google street view), later views show that the theatre was gone by October 2018, so it was demolished some time before then.
As mentioned in the description above, the former Québécoise 2/Marquis is now a live theatre venue called the Théâtre Prospero and is open. This is its website (in French):
You’re right on that, Jake. The space that the Caprice had occupied (and I remember it well because I went to see The Spiderwick Chronicles there in 2008) is now home to a Dollarama dollar store.
According to the following articles from the Regina Leader-Post (one of which is also posted in the article photo section), the Roxy was destroyed by fire on December 30, 1977:
Downtown theatre destroyed by fire (December 30, 1977)
Fire destroyed the Roxy, but not the memories (December 31, 1977)
Judging from the size of this auditorium, under the old seating schematics with traditional cinema seating (i.e. not those bulky, space-consuming luxury recliners), it could have held 500 or more seats.
Black-boxed after Cineplex took over, no doubt.

The building design here reminds me, to an extent, of the old Roxy Theatre in Port Alberni.
According to Mike Rivest’s site, the Mayfair was last owned by Famous Players, which closed it sometime around 1970.
Whoever’s posting all these spam posts in the comment section, spammers are not welcome here.
As the Plaza’s website is advertising current movies again since its reopening, its status should be changed to Open (Showing Movies).

That’s actually the Odeon Danforth Theatre in that picture.

That’s the Pan-Pacific Auditorium itself in its later dilapidated state in the 1980s, not the adjoining theatre.
The Haida became part of the Famous Players chain in late-1967 and would remain with Famous Players until joining Odeon Theatres in January 1970:

The old Uptown Cinema Centre was demolished in 2020 for redevelopment of the site, per this Gloabl News article:
Demolition day: one of Kelowna’s first movie theatres razed to the ground
According to this CBC article from 2020, the Paramount Theatre was mostly demolished in early-2020 with plans for redevelopment of the site:
Moncton builders consider delaying projects as pandemic continues
The old Paramount lobby, however, has been retained and is now the home of the Happy Craft Brewing brewpub (per current Google Maps street views).
Here’s the news article announcing the forthcoming closure:
‘Hard decision’ to close doors of Surrey’s Hollywood 3 Cinema, says operator of movie theatre
With the opening of the new Star Cinema now reported to happen on November 4, it’s time to change this theatre’s status to Closed.
