Curious pet he turned out of cinema (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

picture house

'cinema' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'curious pet he turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' indicates anagramming the letters (turn out can mean to organise).
'curious'+'pet'+'he'='curiouspethe'
'curiouspethe' is an anagram of 'PICTURE HOUSE'.

'of' acts as a link.
