Cine Roxy Gonzaga

Cine Roxy Gonzaga is a cinema complex located in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. It is part of the Cine Roxy group, which was inaugurated on March 15, 1934, and celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2024. The group comprises three cinemas: a traditional street cinema in Santos, a multiplex in the only shopping mall in São Vicente, and a unit in Parque Anilinas in Cubatão. The Gonzaga unit, specifically, is one of the venues under the Cine Roxy brand. The cinema has faced significant challenges, particularly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but has managed to survive thanks to the entrepreneurial efforts of Toninho Campos. It is described as an epicenter of cultural production in Santos, supporting various cultural initiatives from festivals to NGOs, daycare centers, and public schools. It also holds special screenings for people with disabilities ("sessões de cinema azul") and is a rare example of a cinema outside a Brazilian capital to host film premieres and exclusive pre-releases. In honor of its 90th anniversary, the Santos unit underwent a complete renovation, receiving state-of-the-art laser projectors, TVs, and new technologies. The São Vicente unit also received new laser projectors. The Roxy follows major releases, from blockbusters to award-winning and independent films, as well as musical shows and sports competitions. It collaborates with festivals, projects, cultural producers, filmmakers, and artists, and often serves as the choice for distributors and producers for avant-premieres in Santos. It also encourages local production by providing space for premieres of works made in the Baixada Santista region. The official website lists the Gonzaga unit as "Roxy 5 Gonzaga," indicating it is one of the multiplex locations. The website offers online ticket purchasing, trailers, and information about films currently showing and coming soon. The cinema also provides services such as Cine Escola (for school groups), advertising opportunities, corporate tickets, and event hosting with over 1,500 seats, digital projection, and high-quality sound. Overall, Cine Roxy Gonzaga represents a long-standing cinematic tradition in the Santos region, combining commercial exhibition with a strong commitment to cultural and social engagement.
