Cinéma Omnia République, Movie theater in Rouen, France.
Cinéma Omnia République occupies 28 rue de la République in central Rouen, in a building constructed in 1952 on the site of the former Alhambra. After a two-year renovation costing 7.8 million euros and inaugurated on 7 September 2022, it has eight screening rooms totalling about 1,200 seats and the largest screen in Normandy.
Built in 1952 on the site of the Alhambra, which was destroyed by the June 1940 fire and Second World War bombings, the cinema was sold in 1966 to the Société nouvelle des établissements Gaumont. In 1973 it became a four-screen multiplex, then Rouen municipality bought and refitted it in 2010, restoring the name Omnia. After a two-year, 7.8-million-euro renovation, it reopened on 7 September 2022.
The Omnia is classed "art et essai" and regularly hosts previews and meetings with directors, screenwriters and actors. Its name recalls the Alhambra, the cinema destroyed by the June 1940 fire and wartime bombing that it replaced in 1952.

The whole building is accessible to people with disabilities. After the two-year renovation completed in 2022, a film café opened for the public.
