ScreenClassic commented about Collingwood Cinema on Mar 17, 2014 at 5:39 am

I’ve checked for showtimes at different movie listing sites and there is nothing for the Collingwood at any of them. Likewise, the Collingwood website has not been updated since its closure last April, so on that account, I would guess that it has not reopened and is still closed.
