This iconic cinema dates back to the 1930s, when Jacques Haik, a wealthy movie producer, distributor and owner of the Olymia, desired an extravagant building with a capacity of 5000 spectators with a ceiling peaking at more than 30 meters, representing a luminous starry vault.

Tribute to its architect Auguste Bluysen and engineer John Eberson. The façade was designed by the sculptor Henri-Édouard Navarre and the decoration of the great hall was by Maurice Dufrène. The Grand Rex is a scale model of the famous Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
