movie theater

Venue, usually a building or integrated into a shopping mall, for viewing films

A movie theater, cinema, or cinema hall, also known as a picture house, the pictures, picture theatre, or the movies, is a building that contains auditoria for viewing films for entertainment. Most, but not all, theaters are commercial operations catering to the general public, who attend by purchasing a ticket. Some movie theaters, however, are operated by non-profit organizations or societies that charge members a membership fee to view films.
