Metropolitan Theatre, Historic movie theater in downtown Winnipeg, Canada
The Metropolitan Theatre at 281 Donald Street features a neoclassical exterior with light-brown brick and terra cotta decorations on its facade.
The theater opened on January 2, 1920, as the Allen Theatre before Famous Players purchased it in 1923 and renamed it Metropolitan Theatre.
The venue transformed into the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre in 2012 after receiving substantial renovations funded by multiple government organizations and private investors.
The renovated space contains a restaurant, lounge, event facilities, and modern projection screen equipment for various entertainment and social functions.
The building sat empty for 25 years after closing in 1987 until a 20 million dollar restoration project brought it back to operational status.
