Talk about throwing it back!
The dawn of home entertainment systems has meant that fewer people now attend the cinema to see the latest blockbuster films.
However, despite this trend, new cinematic experiences such as The Avenue at Castlecourt and the 4DX at Cineworld in the Odyssey, going to the cinema is now seen as an experience. The ABC The ABC on Fisherwick Place, Belfast was originally opened as The Ritz in 1936 by English actress Gracie Fields. The cinema also catered to live entertainment including a performance by The Beatles in 1963. In the same year it was renamed The ABC and in 1977 it was gutted by a fire bomb. The cinema reopened in 1980 and was again renamed the Cannon Film Centre in 1986. The building closed in 1993 and was later demolished to make way for a hotel.
The Forum The Forum Cinema opened on 20 November 1937 and was the last of cinema in the city to open before World War II. It closed on 28 January 1967. Although the façade and foyer have been rebuilt as offices for a credit union, the main auditorium is still intact and forms part of the Crumlin Star Social Club.
The Ambassador The Ambassador Cinema opened on 16th December 1936 and was owned by D. D. Young but, as an independent, was unable to acquire the top films. In later years it showed mainly continental pornography, but eventually closed on 4th March 1972.
