Not wanting to get married in a traditional church, my wife and I reached out to several movie theatres. Film.ca was the only one that would forego a matinee and rent us a theatre. (Cineplex wanted a ridiculous amount of money, and wanted us out of the room before noon) I’ll upload some photos to the photo section.

^ Film.Ca is the same company as Encore. Same management. The name was changed to reflect that it is no longer a second run theatre.

Currently operated as an independent cinema by Film.ca. Many upgrades have been done, the theater is all digital now. New, larger plusher seats have been added, affording better leg room.

Does anyone have any pictures from back in the Cineplex days? I’ve tried to contact Encore, Cineplex and even archives in Oakville, but so far I’ve come up short!

I actualy blame myself …

I bought one of them new fangled VCR player things and a whole bunch of cinemas went out of business.

I don’t think it was the FP Oakville Town Centre cinemas that prompted the closing, rather the AMC Winston Churchill 24. Both the FP and the Cineplex seemed to do quite well until that put them both out of business.

Located at 171 Speers Road in Oakville Ontario Canada.

Opened in 1987 as the “Oakville Ciniplex Odeon” Oakville’s first multi screen cinema it replaced a smaller single screen Odeon located at 131 Speers Road.

Closed in 1999 it’s short existence being at least in part due to the fact that a “Famous Players” multi screen cinema opened in 1989 less than a 10 minute drive away.

This building then became a church “The Meeting House”

Reborn in 2007 as an “Encore Cinema” a small Canadian chain based in Burlington Ontario.

I uploaded the grand opening ad that was shared by the Sherway Cinemas.
