Scotiabank Theatre Toronto, Multiplex cinema in Entertainment District, Toronto, Canada
Scotiabank Theatre Toronto is a multiplex movie theater in the Entertainment District of downtown Toronto, Canada, with over a dozen screens showing mainstream and independent films. The venue includes an IMAX auditorium with a large-format screen and a seating configuration that puts most viewers at a comfortable distance from the image.
The theater opened in May 1999 under the name Famous Players SilverCity Toronto, at a time when large multiplex cinemas were expanding into Canadian city centers. Cineplex later acquired the chain and rebranded the venue, keeping it as one of the flagship locations in downtown Toronto.
The theater sits in the Entertainment District, a part of downtown Toronto where concert halls, restaurants, and bars draw people in the evening. The area has a strong connection to the Toronto International Film Festival, which brings film industry professionals and fans to the city every September.
The theater is on Richmond Street West in downtown Toronto, within walking distance of several subway and streetcar stops. Booking tickets in advance is a good idea on weekends or for new releases, as popular screenings tend to fill up quickly.
During screenings, food and drinks ordered through delivery apps like SkipTheDishes or Uber Eats can be brought directly to your seat by a courier. This means a visitor can have a meal from a nearby restaurant delivered to the theater without leaving the auditorium.
