Very, very sad. I called cineplex.com and they said that the cinema had steadily been losing money and the company made the decision to close it.
The good news is that all the employees (who are among the very best and kindest of any cinemas out there) are getting jobs at other cinemas, including the Varsity, and the manager will be transferred to Scotiabank Theater, which has terrible customer service, so that's a relief to be getting a decent person.
Still, the very very bad news is that there is uncertainty if the less commercial films -- the documentaries, foreign films, and independent films -- that Carleton would show will be able to be fitted into the schedule for the other cinemas. It was a nice walking distance from where I live.
Now, I'll have to take the fraking subway to see a movie? That sucks.
I'll miss you, Carleton.
Here is that last set of films running until Sunday, December 5, 2009:

This is what happens when too many well-off people choose to download illegally some indie film that barely makes any money. I hate my age group for that.
