Overview

Kinoplex São Luiz is a cinema complex located at Rua do Catete 311, store 204, in the Catete neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is part of the Kinoplex exhibition circuit, the cinema chain of Grupo Severiano Ribeiro, one of Brazil's traditional film exhibition groups. The venue is also known historically as Cine São Luiz and is described as a cinema complex in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The complex has four screens, one of which is equipped for 3D projection. It is one of the oldest cinemas still in operation in Brazil, with the site originally inaugurated in the 1920s. Over its long life it has passed through the changes that reshaped Brazilian exhibition, from the era of large single-screen movie palaces to the multiplex model, and it now operates within the Kinoplex circuit. As a Kinoplex venue, São Luiz is presented through the chain's national programming and services. The Kinoplex website lists features such as film schedules, upcoming releases, festivals and documentaries, accessibility programs including Kinoplex Azul and Cinematerna, special rooms, laser projection, IMAX, KinoEvolution and Kinoplex Platinum, as well as the Kinobox product and promotional actions. The São Luiz unit participates in this broader offer as a neighborhood cinema in Rio de Janeiro's South Zone. The brand sits within Grupo Severiano Ribeiro, a Brazilian cinema exhibition group. The venue's identity combines its historic name, Cine São Luiz, with the modern Kinoplex retail and programming brand, making it both a heritage cinema location and a contemporary multiplex under a national chain.
