擁有68年歷史的地標皇都戲院（State Theatre），曾因數十年的疏忽而殘破不堪，它以前是香港北角的一家電影院。在2015年有人擔心它可能會在不久的將來被拆除。過去15年間，民間曾發起多次保育行動，終於在2017年3月，成功為皇都戲院爭取一級歷史建築評級，具有「拱橋式」支架設計的獨特屋頂結構。
2019年10月，擁有該建築群95％的新世界發展公司申請購買該大廈，併計劃對其進行部分重建。新世界指「重建過程中會積極考量如何把前皇都戲院精髓予以保存」，但有關方案一直未有公布。
皇都戲院擁有1400個座位，前身名為璇宮戲院（Empire Theatre），1952年落成。它於1957年關閉，並在進行大規模翻修後於1959年重新營業，改名皇都戲院，於1997年關閉。
The State Theatre, the 68-year-old landmark that’s been left dilapidated by decades of negligence, is a former cinema in North Point, Hong Kong. Concerns were raised in 2015 that it may be demolished in the near future. In the past 15 years, the community has fought for conservation. Finally, in March 2017, the building was listed as a Grade I historic building with a distinctive parabolic roof trusses.
In October 2019, New World Development, which owns 95 percent of the complex, applied to buy the building with plans to redevelop portions of it. They will “actively consider how to preserve the essence of the former State Theatre.” But the relevant plan has not been announced.
The 1,400-seat cinema opened in December 1952 as the Empire Theatre. It closed in 1957, and reopened in 1959 as the State Theatre, following extensive renovations. The State Theatre closed in 1997.
