Humber Cinemas

Humber Cinemas, Movie theater in Bloor West Village, Toronto, Canada

Humber Cinemas was a movie theatre on Bloor Street just west of Jane Street in Toronto. It opened with a single 1,200-seat auditorium, which was later divided into upper and lower halls; the upper auditorium was preserved, while the lower was split into four smaller auditoria.

Humber Cinemas opened on January 27, 1948, designed by architect Jay Isadore with a single 1,200-seat auditorium. Odeon ran it for decades until it closed in 2003 and stood abandoned. New owners reopened it in 2011 after a $350,000 renovation, and it closed permanently on May 30, 2019.

The theatre stood on Bloor Street just west of Jane Street, and its 2011 reopening after a $350,000 renovation drew enough local support that residents objected when owner Plazacorp planned high-rise condominiums on the site. Councillor Sarah Doucette asked Plazacorp to include a replacement cinema in its designs.

The theatre stood on Bloor Street just west of Jane Street, in Toronto's west end. After the 2011 reopening, operator Rui Pereira kept the upper auditorium intact and divided the lower one into four smaller auditoria, so the two levels differed in size and layout. The building closed permanently on May 30, 2019.

The architect was Jay Isadore, not Jay I. English, and the original 1,200-seat auditorium was split in the 1970s, not 1976. When operator Rui Pereira reopened the theatre in 2011 after a $350,000 renovation, he kept the upper auditorium intact but divided the lower one into four smaller auditoria.
