History
Construction, Completion, Opening, Color Change, Logo Appearances, Move
In 1968, construction began to build a Cinépix Film Building at 980 Yonge St in downtown Toronto and was completed and opened in 1971. Owned by Cinépix Film Properties (now Lionsgate Films), the building was colored in green with no Cinépix logo on top inside the building and on top of the doors, and the words "Welcome to Cinépix" and "Leaving Cinépix" appeared on the doors used to enter and exit. In 1976, the building's color was changed from green to yellow, and it reopened. In 1994, the Cinépix logo appeared on top inside the building and another Cinépix logo appeared on top of the doors. In 1998, the Cinépix logo was replaced with the Lions Gate Films logo without the word "Films" after the Cinépix logo on the white flag, then became the Lions Gate logo on the building. In 2000, the Lions Gate building in Toronto moved from 980 Yonge Street in Downtown to 97 Burnaby Blvd in Midtown. In 2004, the lion logo was replaced by the letters "LGF" and "Lions Gate" between two lines and "Films", with no byline. In 2005, the "LGF" logo was replaced with the current logo that has the word "Lionsgate" on the building.
