About Us

Eclipse Cinemas Bundoran is the Northwest's own locally owned six screen cinema.

We originally opened as a 4 screen cinema in 2001 called Bundoran Cineplex . Our ambition was to bring City Style cinemas to smaller towns, with the extra attractions of a warm Donegal welcome and high quality customer service that you would associate with a family-run business.
And if you visited, you'll have seen that's what we do. We work hard to curate our programmes so we have all the latest blockbusters and great family fare mixed with the best of Irish and smaller independent films that so many of our patrons enjoy.

We never loved the name though, and following a competition to name the cinema and our sister cinema in Lifford, A Local student came up with the moniker "Eclipse Cinemas"

"When you go into a studio it is bright, then the lights go down and the film starts. At the end the lights go up again, just like during an Eclipse".

And the name isn't the only thing that changed.

Whilst our passion for sharing great entertainment hasn't altered, the cinema industry has and we have worked hard to bring you the latest innovations without ruining the classic cinema experience.

Where there once was Film Reels and bulbs , we now have Eco-friendly laser Digital Projectors which are better for the planet - and your wallet as we pass the savings on to our customers.

We used to print our own flyers and drive around the county, but now our website, app and social media do most of our advertising - although we still print the flyer for the local area.

We always had tasty food and comfortable seats but we have added a new hot food service "Extras" as well as our VIP lounge the Directors Lounge.

Online and advance booking though our website and apps allows us to manage resources - but we pride ourself on the personal touch and we will always have plenty of staff to welcome you - and to make sure the screens are spotlessly clean after each show.

If you want robotic self service megaplexs with identikit screens controlled by a central hub miles away, we'll we might not be the place for you.

But if you are interested in a locally owned , locally staffed theatre run by people who love cinema for people who love cinema - then Eclipse Cinema Bundoran is the place for you.
