Is Dublin's Screen Cinema closing down?

It's been reported today that Dublin's iconic Screen Cinema on D'Olier Street is closing in two weeks time.

The story, which was originally reported by Broadsheet, has it that the cinema is being shut down within two weeks and that all booked shows are being moved to the Savoy. Staff, meanwhile, have been put on protective notice. The report also states that there are no plans to reopen the screen.

We contacted IMC Cinemas and the Screen Cinema, however we were given a firm 'No Comment' on the story. In the meantime, we'll be reminiscing about the grand 'oul times we had in Screen Cinema. Our Competitions Editor saw Return of the Jedi there in 1984.

If you work in IMC or Screen Cinema and would like to get in touch to correct or confirm this story, please do get in touch.
