News About This Theater
Opened October 23, 1998, this theatre was the largest in Canada (for only 1.5 months.) This was the first Mega-Plex Guzzo which features a small indoor amusement park inside the lobby.
This theatre was owned by Le Cinemas Guzzo, the biggest circuit in the Montreal area. It was closed on February 5, 2025 when they announced insolvency. It was announced in late-April 2025 that it would be reopening in late-May 2025 by Cinestarz.

October 23rd, 1998 grand opening ad has been posted here.
IMAX coming to this Guzzo http://www.cinemasguzzo.com/en/IMAX.html
This theatre’s opening movies include Apt Pupil (Dolby Digital), Air Bud: Golden Receiver (Dolby Stereo), Blade (Dolby Digital), Bride of Chucky (Dolby Digital), Dance with Me (Dolby Digital), Ever After (Dolby Digital), Madeline (Dolby Digital), Rounders (Dolby Digital), Saving Private Ryan (Dolby Digital), There’s Something About Mary (Dolby Digital) and Without Limits (Dolby Digital). I feel that when it opened, it was split between first-run and second-run movies.
Grand opening ad in French:
CorusFTW, when it opened it had to contend with the two big boys at the time, Famous Players and Cineplex Odeon, which had locations nearby.
Also posted its French-language grand opening ad.
Guzzo closed all its IMAX screens per official website (no showtimes). Willing to bet this cinema will not make it through 2025 as a Guzzo.

“ MEGA-PLEX TASCHEREAU 18
I don’t know exactly where I am on the South Shore. On Taschereau Boulevard, everything is mixed together: a succession of cloned restaurants, separated by huge parking lots. But here I am in front of the cinema. The facade, marked by time, also displays its share of burnt-out light bulbs and graffiti under the awning. However, inside, surprise: it is not the gloomy decor I expected. Better still, a line stretches out in front of the canteen. A handful of moviegoers, faithful to their post, ready to butter their fingers. Life, finally.”
Closed on February 5th, 2025
Cinemas Guzzo closes all its cinemas on orders of the bankruptcy court.
Radio Canada report:
This will reopen as the CineStarz Deluxe Taschereau at the end of May featuring a CSX screen.
“Ciné Starz a fait l’acquisition des deux anciens cinémas Guzzo à Longueuil, à Place Jacques-Cartier et dans l’arr. de Greenfield Park. Ceux-ci devraient ouvrir leurs portes d’ici la fin mai.
Les deux cinémas seront nommés CinéStarz Deluxe Longueuil et CinéStarz Deluxe Taschereau. Des films en français et en anglais y seront projetés.
Cette acquisition fait suite à la mise sous séquestre et à la fermeture des cinémas Guzzo.
Les cinémas seront rénovés et seront dotés notamment de nouveaux sièges «de luxe» inclinables, ainsi que des écrans et un son «à la fine pointe de la technologie», indique un communiqué.
«Cette expansion représente plus que l’acquisition de cinémas – c’est une réaffirmation de notre croyance en l’avenir de l’exploitation des salles de cinéma, a affirmé Bruce Gurberg, chef de la direction de Ciné Starz. Nous investissons dans les communautés et la technologie pour nous assurer que nos cinémas restent des centres culturels essentiels.»
Ciné Starz a aussi acquis en février l’ancien cinéma Guzzo à Dollard-des-Ormeaux, devenu le CinéStarz Deluxe Des Sources. Son ‘ouverture est prévue cet été."
