Astoria Cinemas was a cinema chain that was started by people from Triangelfilm, Atlantic Film and S/S Falden which in April 2005 bought Sandrew Metronome's cinemas in Sweden.[1] Sandrew's cinemas in Sweden has been for sale since August 2004 because their owner (Schibsted) was displeased with declining revenues. A bid from SF Bio in December 2004 was stopped by the Swedish Competition Authority.[2][3][4]
