Regnboginn Cinema was the first multiplex to open in Iceland in 1980. It closed at the expiry of a 30-year lease. The Cinema’s received a major makeover removing its front and becoming a posh art house called Bio Paradis on September 17, 2010. Run by a non-profit organisation supported by the Association of Icelandic Film Producers, the Filmmakers' Association, the Film Directors' Guild of Iceland, RIFF and the Film Society, the theater is associated with Europa Cinemas playing imported art films the Europe and the United States in a variety of different languages along with Icelandic feature films and shorts.

At launch. a shop with arthouse DVD’s, books adjoined its bar and concession bar. That has since been removed in favor of a larger bar and gathering area. Film titles can play a single day and replaced with another art title the next. The now three-screen venue is also home to the Reykjavík International Film Festival.
