A location within a larger area usually gets the preposition "in".

I am confused as to why it isn't "W mojej dzielnicy nie ma kina", as "nie ma kina" is the new information in the sentence. I might be wrong about this though, feel free to correct me.
"Nie ma kina w mojej dzielnicy" could work if you were correcting someone's claim (Let's go to the nearest cinema! There must be a cinema around here, right? - No, there is no cinema in my district.), but generally your version is better in my opinion. I'll remove this sentence and create the one that you mentioned instead.
