Picturehouse Cinemas is a network of cinemas in the United Kingdom, operated by Picturehouse Cinemas Ltd[1] and owned by Cineworld.[2] The company also runs its own film distribution company, Picturehouse Entertainment.[3]

The first cinema, Phoenix Picturehouse, opened in Oxford in 1989, but many of the others in the chain operated independently before then:[4] the Duke of York's Picture House in Brighton, for example, opened in 1910 and is Britain's longest continually operating cinema.

Industrial action

In 2014 Cineworld was subject to industrial action owing to its refusal to pay the London Living Wage to its staff.[5] The workforce attracted the support of Eric Cantona[6] and Terry Jones.[7]

Industrial action resumed in October 2016 over the issue of the London Living Wage, and as of March 2017 has spread to five Picturehouse cinemas, making it the biggest strike action ever by cinema workers in the UK.[8]
