Screen Cinema

Screen Cinema, Movie theater in Dublin, Ireland

Screen Cinema was a three-screen cinema on the corner of Hawkins Street and Townsend Street in Dublin, on the site of the former Regal cinema. It opened in 1972 as the New Metropole with a single auditorium; two more screens were suspended from the ceiling in 1982, leaving the main screen unreduced. It closed in 2016 and was demolished in 2018.

The New Metropole opened on 16 March 1972 at Hawkins Street and Townsend Street, on the site of the demolished Regal cinema. It took its name from the Metropole on O'Connell Street and became the Metropole after that closed in 1973. The auditorium was split in 1982 with two screens suspended from the ceiling, and in 1984 it was renamed the Screen Cinema, sister to the Savoy. It closed in February 2016 and was demolished in 2018.

The name came from the Metropole Cinema on O'Connell Street; after that closed in 1973, the New Metropole dropped "New". From 1984 the Screen showed independent, foreign-language and art house films, keeping hits running until just before their DVD release, and hosted the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival from its 2002 inception.

The cinema stood on the corner of Hawkins Street and Townsend Street, on the site of the former Regal cinema, a short walk from the River Liffey and Trinity College. It closed on 19 February 2016 and was demolished in 2018, so nothing remains to visit; the Mr. Screen usher sculpture made by Vincent Browne in 1988 now stands in the lobby of the Savoy Cinema on O'Connell Street.

A caricature sculpture of a cinema usher, Mr. Screen, made by Vincent Browne in 1988, stood outside the cinema; it is now in the lobby of the Savoy Cinema on O'Connell Street.
