Work to demolish a “hated” building in Bournemouth will start on 5 November.
The former Imax site has been labelled an eyesore by residents who have complained it blocks sea views.
Most work for the first two months will involve stripping out the contents of the building with dismantling of the structure starting in January.
The site is to be transformed into a new public area hosting music concerts, markets and open-air performances due to open in June.
The cinema opened in 2002, nearly three years behind schedule, and then closed in 2005 after having problems showing 3D films.
At the height of its infamy in 2005, the structure was voted one of the UK’s most hated buildings in the Channel 4 programme Demolition.
