EMPIRE CINEMAS, NEWCASTLE ON TYNE.

Located in The Gate leisure complex in Newcastle city centre, the 12-screen Odeon opened in November 2002, after the closure of the Odeon (former Paramount Theatre) in Pilgrim Street. Seating was provided for 2,358 It was almost immediately taken over by Empire Cinemas and re-named Empire.

Seating capacities in the screens range from 436, down to 67

In the Autumn of 2011, work began refurbishing and extending the cinema. It now has the original 12 screen plus 4 Studio screens. It was taken over by Cineworld and re-named Cineworld on 16th June 2017.

I’ve been here and to be honest, the ’re-branding' was pretty poor. All EMPIRE majorly did was replace the sign at the front and some cosmetic changes. The majority of the ODEON style text is still there. Heck EMPIRE also just stickered the EMPIRE logo over the poster cases and the refreshment area menus.

Massive refurbishment/rebuilding by Cineworld taking place. The foyer is gutted and being totally reconstructed at the moment. 4 or 5 screens at any one time are out of action for over a month for building work.

Quartz from Tiles Porcelain in Cineworld.

This company claims to have supplied the black and red polished quartz “sparkle” floor tiles used in the refurbished lobbies. They are currently selling them at the price of £29.99 per sq. metre.

(Note: The quality of these quartz “sparkle” tile products seems to vary and I’ve never seen any on display that look quite like those I’ve seen in Cineworlds, and that price is rock bottom.)
