mulltiplex theater


Explanation:
In the US, we wouldn't normally use the term "cinema" to refer to a theater. "Cinema" is reserved for the concept of film in general. And "multiplex" is the term you hear in California for multiple screens. Each "sala" is a screen.

  -> Yes, "cinema" in the UK. It's also true that "cinema" is creeping into US English, but that's a recent phenomenon.
