I'm not sure about Tuckwood, but both Swan and Murphy say it's the Odeon (they say the names of cimenas usually go with the definite article). We teach the same here :-? Could you please comment?

No, I wasn't saying anything about the films; I had the place in mind. Perhaps it's not that important.
