Study on types and design of theaters for screening

movies

Multiplexes are classified according to screen rooms and circulation systems, and
each used space is quantitatively analyzed. The multiplex type based on screen
rooms and moving line systems influences the relationship and characteristics of
each used space in various ways. In particular, the structure of the used space of
multiplexes has a significant effect on profit generation and audience convenience.

You will probably have to watch the movie several times if you are in Cine Thisio. That is because Cine Thisio
is an outside movie theater that offers a great view of Acropolis and the Parthenon. The theater was built in
1935 and shows classic movies and current releases. And if the movie does not do it for you, the view from
Cine Thisio at night will leave you breathless
