According to cinemasparaiso.blogspot.com, the Cine-Teatro Nun'Alvares opened on 1st January 1949, with 192 seats. It was owned by industrialist Norberto de Oliveira and designed by Francisco Nobre Guedes. From 1996 it was operated by distributor Medeia. It closed in January 2006, with Roman Polanski’s “Oliver Twist”, but re-opened in December 2009, following a major refurbishment, now managed by Malayka Cinemas. However, the single-screen cinema proved difficult to sustain, and the Cine-Teatro Nun'Alvares closed for good in 2011, the city’s final ‘traditional’ neighbourhood cinema. In April 2019 the building re-opened as the Hot Five Jazz & Blues Club, utilising many of the former cinema seats and with a stage (with screen) in the space the cinema screen once occupied.
