That theatre was showing Chinese films until some time in the late 90s. I used to go with friends and see films all the time. The Royal Bank Branch as been there longer than that.
You used to get into the theatre through an entrance just north of the bank on Spadina. It is currently a dollar store.
You used to walk up a long flight of stairs to the next level where there were, i think two or three screens. I imagine the screens are still up there. If you look at the building above the bank you can still see that the building is over large and windowless.
I was sad to see them close, along with the other cinemas in the neighbourhood that used to show chinese films.
