The Royal Cinema is an Art Moderne event venue and cinema in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was built in 1939 and owned by Miss Ray Levinsky.[1]

When it was built in 1939, it was called The Pylon, with an accompanying large sign at the front of the theatre. It included a roller-skating rink at the rear of the theatre, and a dance hall on the second floor.[2]

In the 1950s, the theatre was purchased by Rocco Mastrangelo.[2] In the 1990s, the theatre was renamed The Golden Princess.[2]

Since early 2007, Theatre D has owned and operated The Royal.[3] During the daytime, it operates as a film and television post-production studio.[1] It hosts film festivals, including the European Union Film Festival, Caribbean Tales International Film Festival and Japanese Movie Week.[4]

The Royal is featured in the 2013 film The F Word and the 2011 film Take This Waltz.
