Filmstaden Luxe Uppsala
Uppsala, Sweden
Boxoffice Blue Ribbon 2024 | New Build
Filmstaden Luxe Uppsala is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art multiplex that opened in July 2024, following a major redevelopment on Dragarbrunnsgatan in the heart of Uppsala’s walkable city center. Construction on the project began in mid-2021 as a new structure within an existing city block. The development was delivered through a collaboration between Filmstaden AB, Uppsala Akademiförvaltning (developer), and Arcona (contractor). The completed cinema spans approximately 7,700 square meters across multiple floors. It houses 13 screens and approximately 900 seats, is constructed above a renovated two-level underground car park, and incorporates additional retail and food spaces. Its central location makes it a cultural anchor in Uppsala, complementing nearby shops, restaurants, and nightlife while reinforcing the city center’s vitality. The project aligns with Uppsala’s ambition to achieve climate neutrality by 2030, contributing to sustainable urban development through efficient land use and modern building services.
The cinema features a mix of standard and premium auditoriums, including one of Sweden’s most advanced IMAX screens, equipped with laser projection and a 12-channel immersive sound system. All auditoriums are fitted with full recliner seating, including premier recliners throughout. Select screens also include daybeds and lounge-style seating, creating a more relaxed and social viewing environment.
Beyond the screens, the cinema features a dedicated Filmstaden Luxe Bistro & Bar, offering food, drinks, and alcoholic beverages. This is among the first cinema hospitality concepts of its kind in Sweden and is designed to encourage pre- and post-film socializing. Filmstaden Luxe Uppsala stands as one of Sweden’s most modern and luxurious cinema venues, combining premium technology, hospitality, and urban sustainability.
