Omniplex Cinemas is a cinema chain which started in the Republic of Ireland in 1991. Following this they expanded to Derry in Northern Ireland in 1993. In late 2023, it entered the markets in England and Scotland by acquiring the former Empire Cinemas after their bankruptcy.
The Ambassador Cinema was in use, on and off, as a cinema from about 1910 to 1999, and is now a music venue at the top of O'Connell Street, Dublin. The first cinema in Ireland, the Volta , was opened at 45 Mary Street, Dublin, in 1909 by the novelist James Joyce .
The Temple Theater was built in 1929 at the intersection of North tenth and North B Streets, but not as a movie theater, rather the building was the local Masonic Temple hence the name Temple Theater. The theater was included in the original building design as an 800-seat auditorium with a balcony, and was originally to be used for Masonic rituals.

The Savoy is the most altered cinema in Dublin's history, [citation needed] and in 1969 the cinema was converted into a twin cinema. In 1975, the Savoy's restaurant was converted into a third screen, holding 200 seats, followed in 1979 by further sub-divisions, creating five screens in all. In 1988, the cinema was given its sixth screen.
On 30 June 1962, the Regal Cinema closed down. [11] The last film to be screened there was a re-issue of a British comedy, Upstairs and Downstairs.
