Recently I was reading Blog T.O., I came across a blog entry regarding the Cumberland Cinemas. To my surprise, Blog T.O. reported Cumberland Cinemas is not closing anytime because Cineplex extended the lease to keep Magic Lantern out of Toronto. Not only that, Alliance sold the theatre to Cineplex last year. Blog T.O. didn't mention the source though. Probably from someone from theatre management or an employee from Cineplex head office.
A short history about the theatre and the building. The building and the theatre was built in 1979, was the head office of Famous Players and Paramount Pictures Canada from 1980 to 2005. Famous Players moved into Cineplex Odeon head office in 2006. In 1997, Famous Players sold the theatre to Alliance. In 2005, Cineplex took over the joint venture of Atlantis Alliance Cinemas from Famous Players.
