Digger buckets replaced buckets of popcorn at Belfast’s old Movie House yesterday as the cinema was finally demolished.
Belfast IT firm Kainos’ is to house its headquarters at the Dublin Road site which has been empty for months.
Demolition had been due to get underway last year, but machinery only appeared on site on Tuesday.
Last year Kainos said the design of the new HQ may need to be re-examined in light of the Covid pandemic.
The company’s entire workforce of about 1,700 has been working from home during the crisis.
The bulldozing of the Movie House will mark the end of the era for another city cinema.
