Managing cool cinema is cost-effective (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

economical

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cost-effective' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'managing cool cinema' is the wordplay.
'cool cinema' anagrams to 'ECONOMICAL'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for economical that I've seen before include "Cheap" , "Reasonable" , "Giving good value for money" , "Using little" , "saving money" .)
