None in Enlgnad but I remember going to them as a child in Canada. We do take number 3 son (4 1/2 years old) to the cinema but there are 'special needs' showings of films that we go to; so he can abseil the walls during the movie without us getting thrown out!

It depends on the kid and the movie, though, because Monkey could barely sit through a whole movie until just this summer.
