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.[9] The workforce attracted the support of Eric Cantona[10] and Terry Jones.[11]
