Capitol Thunder Bay, Ontario Dualled
The Capitol Theatre in Thunder Bay was closed November 2, 1981 for dualling. But instead of splitting the existing 736-seat theatre as is usually done, it was decided to construct the second cinema on our parking lot adjacent to the theatre.
In order to achieve this it was necessary to relocate the manager’s office, construct an entirely new
confection counter and revamp the foyer. In addition to the regular washroom facilities, the new cinemas now boast a_ unisex washroom for the handicapped. New blue random carpeting was installed throughout the foyer and the two cinemas.
The foyer modifications resulted in a reduction from 736 seats to 634 in Cinema 1, and with an additional 366 seats in Cinema 2 the Capitol Cinemas can now accommodate a total of 1000 people.
Manager Robert Lipson was honoured to have Mayor Walter Assef attend the opening program for his beautiful new cinema December 18.
