Royal, Movie theater in Stockholm, Sweden

Royal was a cinema at Kungsgatan 37 in Stockholm, housed in an office building designed by Björn Hedvall and Johan Berglund for Anders Sandrew. It opened in 1936 with a 916-seat auditorium, a wooden and glass ticket kiosk, an Orrefors glass fountain and Karl Hultström's sculpture Susanna i badet. A long canopy with red and blue neon marked the entrance.

Royal opened in 1936 in a new office building at Kungsgatan 37, near the Sveavägen junction, designed by Björn Hedvall with Johan Berglund for Anders Sandrew. It became Sandrew's leading premiere cinema and also hosted revues and variety shows. Renovated in 1969, it was rebuilt in 1973 as Sandrew 1-2-3, took the name Royal again in the early 1990s, passed to Astoria Cinemas in 2005 and closed in 2007.

The name Royal referred to Kungsgatan, Stockholm's main street, and the cinema was Anders Sandrew's foremost premiere venue, also used for revue and variety performances. Its stage behind the curtains was fully equipped. Since 2007 film screenings have ended; from 2009 the premises were rebuilt as a lounge and entertainment centre with a bowling alley for "Marion's Gastro Diner".

The cinema is situated near public transportation and operates regular film screenings with comfortable seating for viewers. Visitors can expect conditions typical of a downtown movie house.

The projection booth sat directly above the auditorium rather than behind it, so a vertical periscope was used to throw the image onto the screen. The cinema also held a complete stage behind its curtains, and its canopy on Kungsgatan carried the name Royal in red script with red and blue neon.
