Teatro Premier, Movie theater on Avenida Corrientes, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Teatro Premier is a movie theater on Avenida Corrientes featuring a curved art deco facade with two statues flanking the marquee. A large window spans three upper floors, creating a distinctive vertical emphasis on the building's exterior.
The cinema opened on October 27, 1944, designed by engineer Domingo Bianchi as a major addition to the city's entertainment venues. Its art deco design reflects the architectural trends of mid-20th century Buenos Aires.
The venue screens both Argentine and international films, serving as a cultural gathering place for cinema lovers in the city. Visitors experience the theatrical elegance through the original red velvet seating that has welcomed audiences for decades.
Tickets can be purchased at the box office or through online platforms, with concessions offering snacks and drinks before screenings. The location on Avenida Corrientes provides easy access by public transportation.
In July 1980, the theater hosted a significant chess match between Victor Korchnoi and Lev Polugaevsky. Architect Jorge Serrano made special modifications to the building to accommodate this unusual event.
