It is located on Parnell Street, Dublin and is owned by the Cineworld cinema chain.
The cinema was constructed in the early 1990s on the site of the former Simpson's Hospital which was demolished around 1978 after operating as part of the offices of Williams and Woods sweet and jam factory since 1876.
The current front entrance was originally opened as a separate IMAX 70mm cinema in about 1998.

In 2005, the UGC cinemas in the UK and Ireland were rebranded as Cineworld.
