Current condition

Demolished / No longer exists

Seating capacity: 138

Address: 221-225 Sai Yeung Choi Street North, Shop A, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Not to be confused with another bigger and more well-known Paramount Theatre [1954-1972] also in Mong Kok on Shan Tung Street - https://gwulo.com/node/36552, this theatre was converted from a shop in the 1990s. Very limited information has been identified thus far, and its operating period is still not known at this time. It is possible its name was Paramount Cinema (confirmed May 4).
