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.

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.
