The news comes after a tumultuous summer for the Revue, when the building owners announced they wanted to take over the business from the cinema’s board
The Revue Cinema on July 2. After a tumultuous summer, the cinema management and landlords reached a new five-year lease agreement on Sept. 10.The long-simmering dispute between landlord and tenant that has kept the fate of Toronto’s oldest movie theatre in limbo has been resolved.
As part of the new lease agreement, the Mullins requested that the Revue board make a “significant” contribution to St. Joseph’s Health Centre, which will be done in the form of donated advertising space valued at more than $62,000. The new deal will also see the Revue hold an annual fundraising event for St. Joseph’s Hospital inside the theatre.
According to Oyston at the time, the board had spent more than $500,000 on improvements to the cinema, including asbestos removal, masonry work and the replacement of the original 1911 plumbing.
