This cinema opened on December 15, 1989, with the following films: “Back to the Future Part II,” “Prancer,” “The Wizard,” “Dad,” “The War of the Roses,” and “She-Devil.” Cineplex sold the cinema to Empire Theatres on September 30, 2005, to address antitrust concerns following Cineplex’s acquisition of Famous Players. Empire closed the cinema on the evening of December 17, 2009, with its final films including “Ninja Assassin,” “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” (moved to the new Orleans cinema), “The Blind Side,” “2012” (moved to the new Orleans cinema), “Old Dogs,” and “Pour Toujours, les Canadiens!” It reopened on December 2, 2011, as the Mayfair Theatre Orleans, with a lineup featuring “Gone with the Wind,” “The Help,” “Midnight in Paris,” and “Drive.” Only three of its six screens were reopened. Mayfair closed the cinema again on February 14, 2013, closing with “Lincoln,” “Les Misérables,” “Argo,” “The Impossible,” “Life of Pi,” and “The Last Stand.” CinéStarz reopened the cinema on July 12, 2013, opening with “Epic,” “Louis Cyr l'Homme le Plus Fort au Monde,” “Now You See Me,” and “Fast & Furious 6.” At some point, the cinema re-opened the remaining three screens, operating with six screens once again. As of now, the cinema has been re-opened by the same owners as York Cinemas in Richmond Hill and Garden City Cinemas in Winnipeg.
