Liverpool's latest cinema.
Everyman, Metquarter, 35 Victoria Street, Liverpool 1.
4 screens.
Opened 18 December 2018.
Put into the bombed former General Post Office (1899).
The post box (and part of the exterior walls) is about all that remain from those days.
We have to go back all the way to 1934 to find the last example of a Liverpool cinema being put into an existing building (the Tatler in Church Street), and that was an isolated case.
This Everyman Cinema is part of the Everyman Circuit of 24 cinema sites (so far), and has nothing to do with Liverpool's Everyman Theatre, which - coincidentally - started life as the Everyman Cinema in 1961.
Googling the Everyman Cinema (Liverpool) shows that the 'screens' have been fitted out very luxuriously with sofas (complete with cushions!), so Lord knows how much it costs to see a film.
However, Googling Everyman's site reveals that the staff are on zero-hour contracts and minimum wage.
Go figure.
