Odeon Cinemas
Odeon is a cinema brand name operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland, which along with UCI Cinemas is part of the American Multi Cinema Theaters. It uses the famous name of the Odeon cinema circuit first introduced in Britain in 1930. The first Odeon cinema was opened by Oscar Deutsch in 1928, in Brierley, Staffordshire, although initially called Picture House. The first cinema to use the Odeon brand name was Deutsch's cinema at Perry Barr, Birmingham in 1930. Ten years later Odeon was part of the Rank Organisation who continued their ownership of the circuit for a further sixty years. Through a number of sales and acquisitions in the early 2000s the company was purchased by Terra Firma, which merged Odeon and UCI Cinemas to form Odeon UCI Cinemas Group. Most UCI cinemas then took the Odeon brand name in 2006. Terra Firma/UCI sold the company to AMC Theatres in November 2016. Ironically, UCI was originally formed through the merger of AMC UK and Cinema International Corporation in 1989. In 2016, Odeon was the largest cinema chain in the United Kingdom by market share (although the Irish cinemas were also included within this figure).
Liverpool ONE Christmas Launch
What an amazing evening at our Christmas Launch. A fairytale lantern parade and pyrotechnic finale, plus the opening of the Ice Festival.
CINEMAS used to be EVERYWHERE
Before the rise of home video, cinemas used to be everywhere with many showtimes. I had many movie theaters near me in Staffordshire and with the help of a book by Barry Blaize called The Lost Empire: Picture Houses of the Potteries and Newcastle-under-Lyme I attempt to see if any of the old cinema buildings are still standing. I'll be also looking at old movie showtimes pics to see what films were showing back then and my memories of going to see those screenings.

► Barber's Picture Palace
In 1929, the building was extended, with a new foyer added on the side, and the facade of the Palace Cinema was modernised in an Art Deco style. The seating capacity was increased to 1,200 with the addition of a circle. It screened its first ‘talkie’ “Smiling Irish Eyes” on 6th January 1930.
CinemaScope was installed and the first film to be screened in this process was Howard Keel “Rose Marie” on 29th November 1954. The Palace Cinema was closed on 5th March 1966 with Elvis Presley in “Tickle Me”.
It was converted into a Surewin Bingo Club by the Hutchinson Group of Burnley, Lancashire. In 1978 they converted the former circle into a twin screen cinema with seating provided for 102 where Kris Kistopherson in “Convoy” was screened, and 100 where John Travolta in “Grease” was screened. The bingo club continued to operate in the former stalls area, and the building was known as the Palace Entertainment Centre.

► The Green Cross Code Man
The Green Cross Man is a costumed superhero character created in 1970 as an aid to teaching young children the Green Cross Code, and for promoting general road safety. British actor David Prowse MBE, best known for playing Darth Vader in Star Wars, played the character in a series of Public Information Films (PIFs) sponsored by the Central Office of Information for the UK Department of the Environment. The light-hearted spots ran on UK television from 1975 to 1990.
In the films, Green Cross Man has the power to teleport from his monitoring station at Green Cross Control to any location where children are in need of pedestrian safety instruction. He accomplishes this by use of a wristwatch-like dematerialiser device.
► Staffordshire
Sometimes abbreviated to Staffs is a landlocked county in the West Midlands of England. It adjoins Cheshire to the north west, Derbyshire and Leicestershire to the east, Warwickshire to the south east, West Midlands and Worcestershire to the south, and Shropshire to the west.
The largest city in Staffordshire is Stoke-on-Trent, which is administered separately from the rest of the county as an independent unitary authority. Lichfield also has city status, although this is a considerably smaller cathedral city. Major towns include Stafford (the county town), Burton upon Trent, Cannock, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek, and Tamworth. Smaller towns include Stone, Uttoxeter, and Rugeley, and large villages Eccleshall, Wombourne, Kinver, Penkridge, Tutbury and Stretton. Cannock Chase AONB is within the county as well as parts of the National Forest and the Peak District national park.
Apart from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire is divided into the districts of Cannock Chase, East Staffordshire, Lichfield, Newcastle-under-Lyme, South Staffordshire, Stafford, Staffordshire Moorlands, and Tamworth.

Abandoned Odeon Cinema ~ Portsmouth (REVISITED)
We revisit the Odeon Cinema in Portsmouth, if you watched our first video on this channel you would have seen screen 4 but now we found access to screens 1, 2 and 3so make sure you smash that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE & SHARE.
Odeon opened in 1936 and had a total seating for 1,824 people. It later changed to 1,298 with the introduction of 3 extra screens. Screen 1. 631, Screen 2. 229, Screen 3. 179, Screen 4. 259. Due to disrepair and lower demand Odeon closed it's doors in North End on 10th January 2008. The foyer is now occupied by Sainsbury's and sadly the cinema lies quietly behind.

We find so much inside it's like they just got up and left saying that we don't think we was alone maybe some homeless people was staying inside we are not to sure but all in all a great overnight exploration....
HISTORY
ABC Cinemas was established in 1927 by solicitor John Maxwell[1] by merging three smaller Scottish cinema circuits. It became a wholly owned cinema subsidiary of British International Pictures when it was merged with the production arm of British National Studios, which had been formed by Maxwell in 1926.[2]
During the 1930s, it grew rapidly by acquisitions and an ambitious building programme under the direction of chief architect W.R.Glen, who had been appointed in about 1929[3] and maintained a distinct house style. Existing cinemas which could not be re-modelled were usually operated as separate circuits. In 1937, the parent company, BIP was renamed Associated British Picture Corporation (ABPC). ABC also ran cinemas under the Ritz brand such as the Ritz Cinema, Muswell Hill.
After his death in 1940, his widow Catherine sold a large number of shares to Warner Brothers,[4] who eventually became the largest shareholders and able to exercise control, though ABPC was separately quoted on the London Stock Exchange. By 1945 it operated over 400 cinemas (usually called the Savoy or Regal) and was second only to Rank's Odeonand Gaumont chains. By the close of the 1950s ABC had started rebranding most cinemas as ABC and dropped names like Regal. Uk exhibition was characterised by alignments between distributors and exhibitors. ABC had access to Warner Brothers, MGM and its own ABPC productions, whereas rival Rank had 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Walt Disney, Columbia, Universal, United Artists and its own productions. Rival ABC, Odeon and Gaumont cinemas in a town showed their own releases and barred each other from showing the same film.
Television led to a sharp decline in cinema audiences after 1952 though with the coming of commercial television from 1955 ABPC had expanded into the new medium with the creation of ABC Television Limited, which gained the Independent Television contracts for the North of England and Midlands at the weekend. ABC-TV lost its franchises in 1968, and was merged with Rediffusion to become Thames Television.
As a result of the decline many suburban ABC theatres closed. Most of those remaining began, from the late 1950s to lose their individual names and were simply branded ABC. In 1959 Rank abandoned the separate Odeon and Gaumont release and put the best cinemas from each circuit onto a new Rank release. The remaining cinemas were given a new National release but this was unattractive to distributors and in 1961 Paramount switched to ABC after refusing a National release for the Dean Martin comedy All in a Night's Work. The National release soon ended entirely and there were in future just ABC and Odeon release patterns. In 1967, Seven Arts, the new owners of Warner, decided to dispose of its holdings in ABPC and subsequently EMI launched a successful take-over bid for the company. Associated British Picture Corporation was later to be renamed Thorn-EMI Screen Entertainment Ltd, although the cinema chain retained its name. In 1986, this was later divested by EMI to the Australian businessman Alan Bond who sold the chain a few days later to the Golan & Globus Cannon Cinemas Group for a reported £50 million profit in seven days. EMI retained ABPC's lucrative television interests. Eventually, the advent of largely American owned multiplexes led to the end of barring and the old distributor alignments, which had in any case been rendered largely irrelevant by cinema closures often leaving only one cinema in a town, which had access to all films but usually had to give precedence to its traditional alignment (so an Odeon might have a poor Rank release in its biggest screen and a big ABC release in a small cinema and vice versa).
We Explorer Another Abandoned Odeon Cinema!!
Another day, another Explorer and yes... Another Cinema! This one closed its doors in 2017. probably why there was still a lot of cool stuff left inside? Incredible it was build in 1929!!! And used to be a theatre back in its day! We spent a good few hours in here back in the summer this year (2019) Sit back and let us show you what we found in this incredible building!
Abandoned Odeon Cinema! | (Left for Over a Decade)
► THE EXPLORE: So I've always wanted to get into a cinema, and there has been an abandoned one close to where I live for a while, and finally, we managed to get it in. This is what happened.
► SITE HISTORY: Opened on the 14th December 1936 with it's opening film being Chick. It was one of the largest and most expensive cinemas designed by Andrew Mather for Odeon.
Consisting of 4 screens in total, including a massive 631 seater screen upstairs. Today only 2 of the screens are accessible, with one flooded with waste water and the 631 seater no longer with any kind of way up to it after the original staircase was removed when the cinema's original entrance was renovated into a local shop.
In 2007 the freehold on the building was sold by Odeon and the final performances were held on 10th January 2008.
