Seating capacity: 121
Address: 221 Sai Yeung Choi Street North, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. 園景大廈地下商鋪 (Gardenview Building) is the present occupant at the site.
The theatre's name was likely chosen for its close proximity to Prince Edward Road.
Royal Cinema occupied a unit that was at one time a garage at street level, hence the small seating capacity. The sources listed below show two different opening dates - February 12, 1992 and December 2, 1992 (selected). Both stated that it was closed sometime in February 2007.
