Killian Murphy
Peaky Blinders Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy and his wife Yvonne McGillis recently bought a theater. This theater is very special for the Oscar-winning actor. This theater is located in Dingle, County Kerry, southwest Ireland. The name of this theater is Phoenix Cinema, which is more than 100 years old. In 2025, this couple will renovate Phoenix Cinema. In addition to the theater, this movie theater is also known as a dance hall.
The Phoenix Cinema is the only cinema in County Kerry and was in use for three years before the Actors bought it. Talking about this room, Killian said that when he was young, he used to come with his father to watch movies in this room during the summer holidays. Not only this, he also said that this hall is so old that when his father was young, he also used to go there to watch movies.

Describing the specialty of theater, Killian said that after his father, he also watches movies with his children in this room. He said we know what cinema means to Dingle. Phoenix is 105 years old, that is, it was built in 1919 by brothers Jimmy and Johnny Houlihan. There have been two fire incidents at this theatre, after which it was rebuilt.
It was closed during the lockdown.
During 1950, this theater was purchased by John Moore and he opened a concert hall and a dance hall. Later in 1978, Michael O’Sullivan bought Phoenix Cinema and it continued operating until the arrival of Covid-19. However, during confinement this theater had to close. Killian’s wife, Yvonne McGillis, speaking about this room, said we want to reopen it so we can re-establish the culture of this city through it.
