Odeon Cinema, Hatter Street. Must get some photo-editing software.Good news from Hatter Street. According to rather cagey report in the Bury Free Press today, the Odeon won't be closing down when the new 1350 seater, nine-screen Cineworld multiplex opens in December in Parkway. An East Anglian company (with an intriguingly small web presence), Hollywood Cinemas, is said to be taking over when Odeon withdraw their franchise, or whatever it is. Hollywood Cinemas have cinemas already in Norwich, Fakenham, Dereham, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. They also seem to sponsor Football in the Community's Bryan Gunn Goalkeeping School, which is a bit too Norwich if you ask me.
Still, according to the BFP, the new company will offer a mix of mainstream and arthouse films. Arthouse!? Is Bury ready for this? I'll be there, with my organic popcorn, can't wait.

Roll on the new cinema this is something Bury has needed for some time .
I guess the old cinema will be painted green and yellow and may be sponsored by a certain Delia Smith. Maybe it will show arty cookery films.
