Cela a ouvert le 17 décembre 1999 par Famous Players. AMC a réagi en distribuant du pop-corn gratuit (la même chose s'est produite à Orange County et en Ontario, en Californie). Il a été vendu à Cinémas Fortune, Inc. en 2006 et fermé le 2 février 2009. Il a rouvert ses portes par Cineplex Entertainment le 5 février 2012, qui a ajouté un écran UltraAVX. Ce cinéma est populaire auprès des adolescents d'Ottawa, car de nombreux films de catégorie R sont classés 13 au Québec. Annonces de grande ouverture postées. Traduit par Google
