Famous Players opened the twin screen Pen Centre Cinemas on August 25, 1966 with Audry Hepburn in “How to Steal a Million” & “Sophia Loren in "Lady L”. It became a 3-screen theatre on August 5, 1977. It was reopened on November 7, 1997 by Famous Players as a SilverCity theatre with eight screens. Seating capacity was listed as 2,005, with the largest auditorium seating 362 and the smallest seating 167.
It was taken over by Cineplex Odeon in 2005, and then Empire Theatres in September 2005. At some point after Empire took over, two more screens were added.
All auditoriums have stadium seating.

I believe this was the first theatre opened under the SilverCity banner.
Opening date was on November 7, 1997. This was the first SilverCity cinema built by Famous Players.
I can’t find any photos on the internet of this theatre before Empire Theatre’s takeover. Did this theatre have SilverCity or Famous Players branding?
CorusFTW, it was a SilverCity theatre at one point.
What I meant was that I couldn’t find any photographic evidence that it was branded as a “SilverCity,” as the only photos I could find are its Empire and Landmark years.
“It was taken over by Cineplex Odeon in 2005, and then Empire Theatres in September 2005. At some point after Empire took over, two more screens were added.”
Empire Theatres acquired the theater in 2005 because Cineplex had to sell off 27 cinemas due to antitrust concerns.
