The "Cinema Street" is a Labyrinth in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth.

Profile
This labyrinth is the true form of the world where the Persona users and Hikari were trapped in. It is a part of the collective unconsciousness governed by Enlil, and it resembles a massive, twisted street filled with cinemas. Hikari's Cinema acts as its starting point. The floor is actually a long negative film, which is the source of all of the movies broadcasted in the Cinemas. The negative film is actually those of a movie that fuels negative thoughts, implied to be a documentary of people suffering from the pain of living. Enlil's clients would only watch these movies when being trapped, further encouraging them to give up living and sink deep in their depression. This changed for Hikari, however when Doe overwrites the negative film in her Cinema with movies based on her memories and Persona's tropes.

Trivia

 * The Labyrinth might reference Etrian Odyssey's, which is a massive tree that acts as a Labyrinth and a major plot element, as the "Cinema Street" are actually branches flowing negative films into Cinemas with the bottom most projectors acting as its roots, referencing the trees polluting themselves over time.
