Police first reported one man had been killed but revised the toll after discovering in the rubble two more bodies, those of another man and a woman.
There were no workers in the building at the time and police believe the victims were all passers-by. Two other women were being treated for multiple injuries but were out of danger.
Investigators believe the collapse of the French-style Parravicini theater was due to a problem in the structure that dates from its construction.
It closed in 1995 but had been under renovation for months to turn it into a commercial building.
