screening room
Film viewing space
A screening room is a small theater designed for viewing films, typically found in movie studios, production companies, or wealthy private homes.
Unlike commercial cinemas, screening rooms accommodate limited audiences—executives reviewing dailies, critics at press screenings, or homeowners watching movies in comfort: The director watched the rough cut in the studio's screening room.
