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 [2] 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. [3] It is Toronto's second largest theatre after Cineplex Cinemas Yonge-Dundas and VIP. [4]

In 2025, Toronto City Council approved a plan to replace the theatre with condominiums, a park, and a daycare. [4] The plan received backlash from residents. [2] [5] The theatre's lease was subsequently renewed and Cineplex confirmed that the theatre will remain open. [2] [5]
