picturehouse
Where movies screen
A picturehouse is a cinema or movie theater—a venue for watching films.
The term is British and somewhat old-fashioned, evoking the early days of motion pictures: The old picturehouse on High Street has been converted to flats.
Sometimes written as two words: picture house.
