To change ownership numerous times and ultimately go bankrupt in 2001? [Cineplex.com website]

Hence being called 'VIP' theatres. If they were larger it would be quite hectic trying to supply food service to all of the seats.

I remember the Royal Centre theatres being compared to people's rec rooms.
Ithink the screens in the VIP theatres would be bigger, but with such low capacity, you wonder if they'll be profitable. Not everyone will buy booze.

Fifth Ave cinemas are awful. We couldn't get tickets for the MArvels end game anywhere in the city but found some seats at fifth so went there, near the front row, the screen was like 10 feet higher than the seat, it was awful and distorted from our seats.

Klazu · #**5466** Posted **May 25, 2021, 7:29 PM**

Isn't that a problem with any first rows in any cinema?

VIP tickets are typically around double the price of standard admission tickets.

Fifth Avenue isn't a 'VIP' theatre. It's an age restricted venue. When they renovated, unfortunately they didn't do much to the seating arrangement.

So they really need to cover that ceiling!!

Very nice concept - except for the ceiling like you stated.

Great space to offer Sample Sale events.

Sephora will open next week, on Friday June 4th.

I drove past today around 2 pm, the OEB patio looked full as well as many dining inside. Must be popular.

The sales centre is now closed and the windows papered up, they must be changing it for phase two sales.

Still no word on when the food court will open? Dining restrictions have been lifted in BC.

CondoInvestor · #**5471** Posted **May 27, 2021, 4:22 AM**

seriously can't wait for the food court to open, argh!

xaxis · #**5472** Posted **May 27, 2021, 6:37 PM**

Soon coffee had a popup stand outside the towers. I was told that they would open in the food court on monday

Diegotheartist1 · #**5473** Posted **May 27, 2021, 6:59 PM**

let's hope we get some good pics on the new food court, even if all of them aren't open yet.

It's too bad about the placement of the tree in front of the screen though, now that it has leaves on it, it blocks the screen.

Looks like they thought the same. They're currently removing the two trees in front of the screen. Awful planning on their end IMO lol.

Will the McDonald's ever open up?

I was told they're still waiting for some parts. Probably for their ice cream machine, in other words it will never open

Countless McDonald’s are open with their ice cream machines broken and not working lol. I don’t think that would stop them

Diegotheartist1 · #**5479** Posted **May 29, 2021, 3:46 AM**

Let's hope Brentwood's new McDonald's Ice Cream machine isn't broken as fuck.

Isn't that their standard default operating state?

I believe it even says it right in the technical manual,...

"broken as fuck"
