A non-profit organization that runs a much-loved movie theatre in Toronto has
signed a new five-year lease with its landlords to keep the cinema in business,
both parties announced on Tuesday.
The Revue Film Society and Danny and Letty Mullin, owners of the
building, announced the lease agreement in a news release on Tuesday, saying
they are committed to the success of the Revue Cinema on Roncesvalles Avenue.
"Negotiations, even between longstanding partners, can often lead to
misunderstandings, but the length and strength of our partnership with the
Mullins and good faith on all sides allowed us to end up in a good place," the
news release reads.
"In recent weeks, supporters across Toronto and beyond have shown their passion
for the iconic cinema — a testament to the community's dedication and the
exceptional environment that the Revue Film Society and the Mullins have
cultivated."
The news comes after tension over the summer between the society and the
Mullins. In late June, the society obtained an injunction from the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice that halted a proposed eviction until a trial could be
held. That injunction was then extended until Oct. 30.

According to the terms of the lease agreement, the Mullins have asked the
society to make a contribution to St. Joseph's Health Centre. In turn, the
society said it will donate advertising space worth more than $62,000 to the St.
Joseph's Health Centre Foundation over the length of the lease. The society has
also agreed to hold an annual fundraising event in support of St. Joseph's
Hospital.
"Patrons can look forward to exciting new programming and upcoming facility
enhancements, including restoration of the heritage façade set to commence this
year," Grant Oyston, society chair, said in the release.
"We are thankful to Danny and Letty for their continued partnership and support
and to former Toronto Mayor John Tory for his mediation efforts which were of
huge help in arriving at this successful result."
ANNOUNCEMENT IS 'GREAT NEWS', MAYOR SAYS
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday that
the announcement is "great news."
"It's great to see this important cultural hub in our city stay open, show
films, and serve more delicious popcorn!" Chow said.

Society, the Revue has been operating as a cinema since 1912. (Revue Cinema)
In early July, Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro urged Chow in a post
on X to help save the cinema.
"Can you help save the REVUE, one of Canada's most beloved, non-profit, cultural
landmarks?" he wrote, tagging the mayor and posting a link to a petition with
more than 25,000 signatures. "If not you, WHO can help? or HOW can I help?"
Several of del Toro's films have been filmed in Toronto, including Academy Award
Best Picture winner The Shape of Water and the upcoming Netflix
movie Frankenstein.
According to the society, the Revue has been operating as a cinema since 1912.
"It screens hundreds of films every year, many to sold-out audiences. The Revue
is one of the last movie houses to showcase the work of independent Canadian
filmmakers, and its popular programs highlight the work of LGBTQ+ creators and
directors from under-served communities," the society has said.
