Movies@
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Movies@ Ltd. is a cinema chain in the Republic of Ireland. The company opened its first multiplex cinema at the Dundrum Town Centre on 1 October 2005, with 12 screens. Further multiplexes will be opening at the Pavilion Centre, Swords (11 screens) Mid November 2006, and Salthill, County Galway (10 screens) in Autumn 2007.
The company bears some resemblance to the largest Irish cinema chain, the Ward Anderson group, in that it is a family owned business run by members of two families, in this case the O'Gorman family (who own the Ormonde cinema in Stillorgan) and the Spurling family who are also involved in rural cinemas. It is uncertain as to whether these existing cinemas will be incorporated into the new company, however the Ormonde Cinema website refers to Movies@Dundrum as a sister site and vice versa.
