The Uptown Cinema Centre opened in the mid-1970’s with two screens each seating 308, for a total of 616 seats.
The Uptown closed in 2000 and was converted into a church. It was demolished in 2020.

Is it certain that it was demolished? If you click on the compass in the Google street view to see more of the building to the right, you can see the Living Faith Miracle Center which is what is located at the former theatre’s address, and it does look like a former 1970’s era cement block theatre.
I agree with CSWalczak, that’s the old Uptown Theatre.
The old Uptown Cinema Centre was demolished in 2020 for redevelopment of the site, per this Gloabl News article:
