is operated? seems to me it’s been closed for 42 years, so if it’s operated by anyone it’s the property manager, no?

This is operated by Odeon Theatres Canada, though Cineplex Odeon operated the Dufferin during its final year following the Cineplex and Canadian Odeon merger.

Opened with “it’s a great feeling”. Was the rear projection on the back of the screen? First drive-in theatre i have heard of, having a swimming pool(is it unique in the World?)!!
