Cineplex Cinemas Queensway and VIP is a major movie theatre in Islington-City Centre West of Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Queensway and Islington Avenue. It opened in 2001[1] and is owned and operated by Cineplex Entertainment. Theatrical films are screened at the venue year-round. On January 17, 2014, a VIP section opened at the venue.[2] It is Toronto's second largest theatre after Cineplex Cinemas Yonge-Dundas and VIP.[3]
In 2025, Toronto City Council approved a plan to replace the theatre with condominiums, a park, and a daycare.[3] The plan received backlash from residents.[1][4] The theatre's lease was subsequently renewed and Cineplex confirmed that the theatre will remain open.[1][4]
