In May 2018, it was announced that Cineplex would open a new seven-screen cinema on the property in 2019, replacing its existing Cineplex Odeon Centre Cinemas location inside the mall. It was concurrently announced that Rainbow Cinemas, the mall's neighbouring second-run cinema, would shut down in 2020, as the mall's owners had declined to renew its lease due to an exclusivity agreement with Cineplex. The new cinema opened October 25, 2019. In 2019, renovation work began in Centre East (including the tunnel connection under Acadia Drive) in preparation for redevelopment of the soon-to-be-vacated theatres.
