Located in Manchester city centre in the former printworks of the Manchester Evening News newspaper. This opened on 10th November 2000 as the 20-screen (including IMAX screen) TheFilmworks, a UCI subsidiary company who’s motto was ‘The Next Generation Cinema’. The architecturual style in the foyers and public spaces is ‘Industrial’ with bare brick walls and openly visible air conditioning conduit and wiring exposed.
Taken over by Odeon Theatres in 2004 it was re-branded Odeon. Seating capacities in the screens ranged from 484 (with seating in stalls and circle levels in the three largest screens), down to 129. By 2011, the Odeon had 23 screens, the smallest having 65 seats.
