The building was closed in 2014, when a completely new “mega-cinema” complex was opened in Hilversum. Although at first the plans were to demolish the old Euro Cinema, it was discovered that this building still had its original facade and was worth saving.

here you can see the building in its original incarnation as a garage in 1912: http://www.gooieneemlander.nl/regionaal/gooivechtstreek/article27194296.ece/Euro-bioscoop-ontloopt-sloophamer_

reconstructed as the Casino theatre/cinema: in 1937: http://www.inoudeansichten.nl/ansichten/hilversum/p15602-naarderstraat-nr-3-1937.html and in 1969: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/497295983829065103/

At this moment (July 20, 2015) the 1970’s facade is carefully being removed, and it is great to see that the old (somewhat damaged) facade is re-emerging! The city of Hilversum is making plans for the future of the building, but fortunately it will be saved!
