History of Odeon Cinema

Odeon started as a small theatre circuit way back in 1928, with its very first cinema opened to the public by Oscar Deutsch, in West Midland’s Brierley Hill.

Initially, it was called the “Picture House” and was only called as Odeon when the cinema at Penny Barr, Birmingham became operational in 1930.

As one of the major cinema companies in the whole of Europe, Odeon bears the name as how it has been known in the British Isles since 1930. Today, because of its continuous expansion, many of the cinemas are ultra-modern and possesses no hint of resemblance to the original Odeon.

Odeon UCI Cinema Group, along with the Terra Firma Capital Partners, were the owners of Odean Cinemas until 2016. American chain AMC Theaters was recently approved for their takeover bid of Odeon for $1.2 billion in late 2016, leaving AMC to become the new world’s biggest cinema chain.

AMC have announced all of the Odeon branded cinemas will remain as such in UK and Ireland. As well, the international cinemas Odeon owns in Italy, Portugal, Germany, and Spain, will all remain the same as well.

Odeon Cinema Innovations

Odeon Cinemas has made innovation a vital part of its growth. Continuously making sure the most advanced cinematic technologies and the latest theatre equipment are found throughout its theatres. Below are just a few of the state-of-the-art technologies Odeon has implemented over the years:

IMAX

Odeon brings only the best movie experiences and that means IMAX. Giving patrons the chance to enjoy the ultimate in viewing experience with stunning image clarity as well as out-of-this-world audio assuring unforgettable cinematic effects.

Following their partnership with IMAX, Odeon now boasts many large screens and high-tech sound consistently bringing the most impressive movies for its customers. As its brand logo says, “Immerse yourself in IMAX” – and this is what truly happens whenever one watches in IMAX movie at Odeon.

IMAX screens are generally housed in specially designed spaces to achieve the greatest effect. Currently, Odeon’s largest IMAX screen resides in their London location.

Not only can you watch the latest action blockbuster in IMAX, you’ll also be able to watch it in 3D if it’s available. If you’ve never seen a 3D IMAX movie before, we recommend you stop what you’re doing, and head to one immediately. You can thank us later.

3D Movies

Odeon is also proud of its RealD 3D format, one of the innovations making it a favourite cinema among avid movie goers. Watching a movie in 3D makes you feel like you are a part of the whole adventure.

RealD 3D, as it’s called, delivers high-quality images – ones that are bright, colourful, and super-realistic. Complemented by a usual stunningly defined surround sound system, you’ll become fully immersed in the story being told all around you.

The Gallery – the Odeon’s Premium cinema

Looking for a complete VIP movie experience? You’ll want to read on. The Gallery is where guests are treated to the full VIP experience.

Odeon means VIP when they say it. Upgrading your tickets will allow you to take advantage of extra-wide seating with additional leg room (yes please). That’s not all. Unlimited popcorn, soft drinks, and nachos. Yes, you read that right. Unlimited. Why are we still here? We’re going to call in sick tomorrow and try this out for ourselves!

The Gallery VIP experience is limited in the number of cinemas which offer it. As of 16 March 2017, the following locations offer The Gallery tickets:

• Cardiff
• Greenwich
• Manchester
• Liverpool One
• Metrocentre
• Milton Keynes
• Norwich

Did we mention The Gallery tickets also grant you access to a private bar before the movie starts? Did we mention some cinemas will allow you to take those drinks into the movie as well?! Well, we have now.

Of course, with all the extra features included, Odeon’s The Gallery ticket prices are a bit more expensive than normal. Greenwich charges £24.00 to see a 2D movie in the Gallery and £29.00 for The Gallery experience in 3D IMAX.

D-BOX

We checked out Odeon’s website to see what they had to say about their D-BOX movies, and we thought they did a pretty good job nailing it on the head with their single one-liner.

Sound + image + motion = the ultimate cinematic experience

Can you guess what D-BOX is now? Yep, the seats move in line with what’s happening on the screen. Ahh, we love when technology works together!

D-BOX seats can vibrate, go up and down, roll side to side, and even pitch back and forth. If it’s getting a bit too intense for you, there are individual controls on each chair allowing you to adjust the movement, and even turn it off altogether if you’d like.

How Much Do Odeon Cinema Tickets Cost?

One of the most preferred theatres in the United Kingdom is Odeon Cinemas since its ticket prices are more affordable compared with other cinema chains such as Cineworld.

Odeon consistently strives to deliver the best quality movie experience at affordable prices by offering a variety of movie formats. Apart from its standard screen, the price of which is priced minimally, other formats mentioned above such as IMAX, 3D, D-BOX, and The Gallery allow those with a higher budget to enjoy spectacular movies at appropriate prices.

The company is committed to offering its customers superb movie viewing at low theatre prices.

Specific Odeon Cinema ticket prices in your region can be found by downloading their app, giving them a call, or check out their individual cinema’s website page.

Odeon Locations

We always like to take a look at which locations are the most popular with the cinema brand, and Odeon is no different.

Here are a few of Odeon’s locations which patrons visit the most each month:

• Odeon Southampton – Leisureworld, W Quay Road
