A revival house or repertory cinema is a term for a cinema that specializes in showing classic or notable older films. Included are repertory cinemas, multi-function theatres that alternate between old movies and live events, and some first-run theatres that show past favorites along-side current releases.
Some smaller cinemas address an audience that will appreciate classic or noteworthy older films because they are too small to compete for first run films. Programming includes golden age classics to favorite blockbusters from just a few years back.
