The Regent Theatre is a live theatre and cinema venue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It opened in 1927 showing silent films as the Belsize Theatre, referring to its location on Mt. Pleasant Road at Belsize Drive. It operated as the Belsize until 1950, when it was renovated and renamed the Crest Theatre. In 1954, it became a live theatre venue supporting the Crest Theatre Foundation theatre company. After the company vacated the theatre in 1966, it returned to showing films, showing first-run and repertory films. In 1988, it was renamed the Regent theatre. In 2020, it was bought and is currently closed, in the process of being renovated to become again a live theatre space.
