zero or no

Hi everybody,

Please, tell me if this sentence is correct

"There are zero cinemas in this town"

instead of saying : "there are no cinemas in this town " or "there aren�t any cinemas in this town"

Thank you for your answers

It�s not as common, but it is correct. People would say it that way to emphasize the lack of cinemas.
