Morphology
multiscreen = multiscreen (semi-transparent) = multi + screen
The noun is a converted use of the adjective, and the connection to multiple screens is clear, though the cinema-complex sense is somewhat lexicalized.
Etymology
Multiscreen joins multi- 'many' and screen 'a room or device that shows a film', painting a picture of 'many screens' under one roof. That's why a multiscreen is a cinema complex with several separate halls showing different films at the same time.
