A new Backlot Cinema is being built at Blackpool's Houndshill Shopping Centre
Blackpool looks set to be without a mainstream cinema for the summer following the closure of the Odeon while the launch of the new Backlot Cinema remains some months away.
The credits rolled at the Odeon on Festival Park, Rigby Road, for the last time earlier this month after the lease came to an end and planning permission was granted for conversion of the building into a leisure hub. The Backlot Cinema, which will include an immersive Imax screen, is expected to open around November time ahead of the Christmas film season.
