Astoria, Movie theater in Östermalm, Stockholm, Sweden

Astoria is a cinema located at Nybrogatan 15 in the Ostermalm neighborhood with marble flooring in its lobby and specialized projection equipment for 70mm film formats. The theater contains a single auditorium with approximately 678 seats arranged on a main floor after earlier renovations removed its upper levels.

The theater opened in 1928 with 820 seats arranged across the main floor and multiple balcony levels. In 1959, major renovations removed the balconies and installed a new wooden floor, significantly changing the building's interior layout and seating capacity.

Astoria hosted premieres not only for Anders Sandrew's own productions but also for Europafilm, which lacked a dedicated premiere cinema. The venue's name was later adopted by the Astoria Cinemas chain, which called it its flagship before closing in 2007.

The cinema is situated in a central neighborhood and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that the theater operates a single auditorium, so showtimes and film programming are organized around one main screen.

Behind the main screen, the original building contained a stage and orchestra pit used for live vaudeville performances during silent film screenings. This reveals the cinema served a dual purpose as both a movie house and a venue for stage entertainment in its early decades.
