Multikino Ursynów, Multiplex cinema in Ursynów-Centrum, Poland.
Multikino Ursynów is a multiplex cinema in the Ursynów-Centrum district of southern Warsaw, housed in a modern building with several screening rooms on multiple floors. Each room is fitted with digital projection and multi-channel sound, and the rooms vary in size to accommodate both large releases and smaller films.
Multikino Ursynów was built between 1998 and 1999 to a design by the APA Markowski & Wojciechowski studio, with Szymon Wojciechowski and Andrzej Markowski among the authors, for investors ITI and UCI. The cinema opened in September 1999 with a screening of George Lucas's Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It was Warsaw's first multiplex and Poland's second, after Multikino Poznań, and had the most screens in the city at the time. It closed on 18 August 2024, the last film shown being Alien: Romulus, and demolition began in November 2024.
The building also housed a Starlight Café bar, a Sphinx restaurant, a Pizza Marzano outlet and the Egurrola Fitness Club, so a cinema visit could be combined with eating or exercise under one roof. Its first screening, in September 1999, was George Lucas's Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.
The cinema stood at al. Komisji Edukacji Narodowej 60, at the corner of Indiry Gandhi street, opposite the Ursynów district hall and near Imielin metro station. A ground-level reinforced-concrete multi-storey car park for 486 cars adjoined the building and served partly as a Parkuj i Jedź lot between 2012 and 2020. The cinema closed on 18 August 2024 and demolition began in November 2024.
The building's façade combined burgundy marblit tiles with blue-green glass curtain walls, a design the local authorities requested so the cinema would fit into the district centre. Above the entrance hung a large cinema logo on steel columns, the element critics singled out as the only variation in an otherwise plain block.
