Bart3049 commented about Arcades on May 8, 2016 at 5:42 am

The Omnia Pathe Cinema was one of the earliest cinemas in Paris, opening on 14th December 1906. In the 30ths it became a newsreel cinema, seating 700 and first named Cinéphone-Petit Parisien, then “Cinéphone-Montmartre”. In 1946 it returns to showing regular movies, named California with 590 seats. The theatre starts a new chapter after transformations in 1959 returning to the name Omnia, equipped for 70mm movies and seating 680. In the 70ths the theatre is twinned and named Omnia Boulevards, before becoming an X-rated cinema in 1979. After the last transformation in 1982 into 3 screens, it’s named Arcades and shows regular movies once more, but closes only 5 years later in 1987. (The number of seats was 587: 299 + 189 + 99, not 250!/ and 3 screens instead of 1)

Bart3049 commented about 3 Parnassiens on May 8, 2016 at 4:25 am

Located in the south of the city centre, the Delambre opened as a single screen in 1933, seating 600 with the balcony. In the first half of the 70ths, it became cinema showing X-rated films and was split up in 1977 into 3 screens (seating 260, 100 and 80). After a take-over and complete renovation in 1983 it became the little brother of the nearby 7 Parnassiens, named 3 Parnassiens. But the cinema only lasted 6 years and closed may 16, 1989.

It is now a supermarket.

Utopolis Emmen was opened in 2005, originally designed by Kinepolis to be it’s first Dutch theatre, it was finally left to the Utopolis-chain but since kinepolis took over Utopolis in 2015 it will change it’s name to Kinepolis Emmen in the near future!All seven screens are side by side, allowing for a single projection room. There is a café & bar in the foyer.

Bart3049 commented about Vendome Cinema on Jan 29, 2015 at 4:45 pm

The Vendome has 5 screens and not 7, as can be seen above the entrance doors: 5 salles. The first 3 of the former Le Roy cinema are the main screen + 2 extra screens on the former Balcony. 2 additional screens were created by opening up the back wall of the adjoining closed down L'Empire on the Chaussee d'Ixelles. The screens and projection booth were inversed, thus allowing the ground floor to become a supermarket that uses the former entrance.
