When the theater first opened on November 22, 1983, the staff at SRO nicknamed the theater “little jewel”. The largest auditorium housed 450 seats but I cannot tell the other three auditoriums' capacities.

50sSNIPES commented about Malton Theatre on May 9, 2026 at 6:46 pm

Fireside Theatres Limited, backed by Alex Stewart who was also the executive director of the Motion Picture Institute, and brothers Sam, Norm, and Joe Black, who were also owners of the Westwood Mall, opened the Malton Theatre on September 25, 1971 as a 350-seat single-screener screening second-run films on 16mm film. 35mm projection would later replace the original 16mm setup a short time later.

Premiere Theatres Canada later operated the theater and its policy by the end of the late-1970s but unfortunately, this is a short-lived venue, closing on January 22, 1982 with Walt Disney’s “The Fox And The Hound” and its featurette “Once Upon A Mouse”.
