I found this on a travel site:

Reykjavík

Accommodation : Restaurants : Nightlife : Entertainment : Events
Other Guides: 0
Reykjavík, Iceland Currency Krona (ISK)

Cinema
Háskólabíó Cinema
Hagatorg Vesturbær
Tel: 530 1919 Fax: 0
Website: www.haskolabio.is
Dressing: Anything Goes

Next to the Radisson SAS Hotel Saga, this popular cinema has four auditoria. During the day these are lecture theatres for the university, so the flip-up desk tables might be a distraction for some. Believe it or not, this site is also the venue for the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra (until 2009).

I found six cinemas listed for Reykjavik:

Háskólabió, Hagatorg (telephone: 530 1919)

Kringlubio, Kringlan 4-12 (telephone: 588 0800)

Laugarasbio, Laugaras (telephone: 553 2075)

Sambio, Alfabakki 8 (telephone: 587 8900)

Smarabio, Smaralind Shopping Centre (telephone: 564 000)

Regnboginn, Hverfisgata 54 (telephone: 551 9000)

“The majority of the new films shown are from America, although there are also a limited number of European films. Films are generally shown with the original soundtrack and subtitled in Icelandic”.

If the other five cinemas aren’t already listed on CT, feel free to add them.

I don’t know what the current exchange rate is but that ticket must have cost roughly $14 or $15. That is a little steep for a movie ticket. If I lived in Iceland, I’d wait for the movie to come out on DVD and then rent it. :)
