There are two movie theaters inside the Rise Building. There was the Cinema Rise on the basement floor and the Shibuya Piccadilly on the 2nd floor, and both theaters were directly managed by Shochiku.
The Shibuya Piccadilly on the 2nd floor first opened as the Shibuya Shochiku Central on November 2, 1985. At the time, the Central mainly screened films that came directly from the Marunouchi Piccadilly 2. Shortly after the closure of the Shibuya Shochiku Theater in September 1990, the Shochiku films that normally screened there began screening at the Shibuya Piccadilly. The Shibuya Piccadilly closed on January 30, 2009 with “World Of Lies”. After the closure of the Shibuya Piccadilly, screenings of Shochiku films in the Shibuya area were consolidated at Shibuya Cine Palace.
The Cinema Rise on the basement floor opened on June 7, 1986 as a foreign roadshow house managed by Shochiku. A second screen was added ten years later in 1996, and the Rise closed for the final time on January 7, 2016 with “Woman In Gold”.
