Torontoist Flickr pool contributor bitefight brings us photos of the shuttered Revue cinema, which suffered a spectacular collapse of its marquee yesterday.

The drippy marquee was well-known for its tendency to collect snow and water, and it seems that the weight of the recent snowfall is the cause behind the collapse.
