Movie House Dublin Road closing date confirmed in statement

Movie House Cinemas has confirmed the date that their Dublin Road location will close its doors.

The news comes after software firm Kainos bought the site.

The company issued a statement this afternoon and thanked their staff publicly for doing an "amazing job" at the cinema.

Michael McAdam, Managing Director of Movie House, said: “It’s the end of an era on the Dublin Road and we want to thank all our customers and staff teams for their support over the years.

"We were moved by the many stories people shared with us about their visits to the Dublin Road cinema and we know it was an important part of the local community.

“In the past year, we’ve invested heavily in our Cityside-Yorkgate cinema to give customers the ultimate luxury movie experience with comfortable VIP recliner seats at no additional cost. We want to encourage all our customers to come experience VIP for themselves.”

All staff have been offered employment at its other cinemas.

Mr McAdam added: “I want to say a huge thank you to our staff team who have kept Dublin Road operating in uncertain conditions while we waited to agree the final closing date. They’ve done an amazing job and I’d like to publicly thank them for this.

“We will continue to show movies until Sunday, April 26th and hope our customers old and new will come to say goodbye.

"We wish Kainos well in their new development and to thank them for extending our time at Dublin Road.”
