Cinema multiplexes, as well as theater places with just one screen, are complex to think about, even in terms of layout. For any Italians reading this(and I hope either there is a translation feature for this or that the Italians reading this are bilingual(or multilingual), or both are the case), you might recall seeing a Warner Village Cinemas building, the sign including something like "9 sale", "12 sale", "16 sale", or "7 sale" underneath.
If you ask me, I'd say the "# sale" refers to the number of screens, therefore, the number of auditoriums in the building.
Similar practices are common in the U.S. as well, with my hometown of Visalia possessing two multiplexes owned by Regal.
Similar story for Fresno with two of the Regal-owned theaters there.
