URGENT UPDATE: Cabot Circus has just confirmed that the highly anticipated Odeon Luxe cinema will officially open its doors in early 2026. Located at the site of the former Showcase Cinema at the top of the shopping center, this new venue promises an upgraded movie-going experience that residents of Bristol have been eagerly requesting.
In a recent announcement, Cabot Circus acknowledged the community’s calls for a cinema, stating, “Bristol, we hear you. ODEON Luxe is coming to Cabot Circus early 2026.” The shopping center encouraged locals to stay tuned for further updates, highlighting the excitement surrounding the opening.
The Odeon Luxe aims to redefine the cinema experience with luxurious amenities, including full reclining seats and three times the legroom compared to standard cinemas. Moviegoers can expect stunning visuals and sound quality with features like IMAX with Laser and the advanced iSense screen technology, which ensures the “clearest sound” and “brightest picture.”
This new cinema will occupy a smaller footprint than its predecessor, sharing space with a restaurant and another leisure operator, details of which have not yet been disclosed. The opening of Odeon Luxe is part of a broader revitalization effort at Cabot Circus, which includes the planned construction of a 500-bed student accommodation tower and significant upgrades to the surrounding Quakers Friars area.
Originally slated to open this year, the timeline for the Odeon Luxe was pushed back due to Hammerson’s extensive renovation plans for the shopping center and its vicinity. The ongoing developments highlight a commitment to enhancing the local community’s lifestyle and entertainment options.
As the launch date approaches, residents and cinema enthusiasts are encouraged to stay updated on this exciting addition to Cabot Circus. The community’s engagement and enthusiasm for a cinema reflect a growing demand for quality entertainment options in the area.
Stay tuned for more updates as the opening of Odeon Luxe draws near!
