movie house

Where films screen

A movie house is a theater where films are shown—synonymous with cinema or movie theater.

The term sounds slightly dated, evoking an earlier era of moviegoing: The old movie house on Main Street closed years ago.

It emphasizes the building itself rather than the experience.
