Places: Cinema

Brief definition from Wikipedia

A movie theater, cinema, movie house, picture theater, film theater is a venue, usually a building, for viewing motion pictures ("movies" or "films"). Most but not all movie theaters are commercial operations catering to the general public, who attend by purchasing a ticket. The movie is projected with a movie projector onto a large projection screen at the front of the auditorium. Some movie theaters are now equipped for digital cinema projection, removing the need to create and transport a physical film print.
