Filmstaden, Malmo

Filmstaden in Malmö is the city’s largest cinema and a popular cultural destination since its opening in 1998. With 1,279 seats spread across 8 auditoriums, Filmstaden has been a go-to venue for locals and tourists to enjoy the latest blockbuster releases. Situated in the city center, it offers easy accessibility and a vibrant atmosphere for cinema enthusiasts. The cinema is part of Filmstaden AB, Sweden’s largest cinema chain. Established in 1998 as SF Bio AB after a Bonnier Group restructure, it was renamed Filmstaden in 2017 following its acquisition by AMC Theatres.

Filmstaden is a key player in the Nordic and Baltic cinema market, operating as part of the Odeon Cinemas Group, AMC’s European subsidiary. The cinema chain is well-known for its focus on modernization and audience engagement, with locations featuring state-of-the-art facilities and a rich selection of film genres.

The name “Filmstaden” itself holds a special significance, originally referring to SF’s historic recording studio in Råsunda, Solna, where many classic Swedish films were produced. Today, Filmstaden remains synonymous with quality cinema experiences across Sweden, managing numerous venues and providing an online platform for booking tickets and viewing schedules through filmstaden.se.

Through strategic acquisitions, like taking over Astoria Cinema’s locations in 2007, and ongoing investments in modern facilities, Filmstaden has cemented its position as a leading name in Sweden’s entertainment landscape. The Malmö location, in particular, continues to thrive as a central hub for filmgoers in the region, reflecting the brand’s long-standing commitment to bringing high-quality cinematic experiences to a broad audience.
