Midtown Cinema opened on July 28, 1970, as one of the Midtown Plaza’s early tenants.
Operated by Famous Players, it closed sometime on April 27, 2000. It reopened in May 200, but closed again on July 20, 2000. It remained empty until its incorporation into more food court space in 2007. It has since been demolished.

July 30th, 1970 grand opening ad can be found in the photo section.
The two screens were promoted as Midtown A and Midtown B. After its closure, the space was used by a succession of temporary retailers (I recall one that sold RVs) until it was “closed off” by a line of smaller retailers and the excess space behind was demolished. As far as I can tell the washrooms, which were repurposed for the food court, are all that remain.

As of 2024 the original footprint of Midtown Cinemas no longer exists (including the washrooms I mentioned years ago). The mall (now known as Midtown) underwent reconfiguration of its southern end following the closure of the Sears department store; the second level became a relocated and expanded food court; the former food court was reset for smaller retailers, and the space previously occupied by the theatre was fully demolished.
Briefly closed on April 27, 2000, reopened the following month, closed for the final time on July 20, 2000.
