Their operator, Pacific Theatres, later filed for bankruptcy. The properties are still owned by the family of Pacific\u2019s founder, William R. Forman, who built the Dome in 1963. It is now a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Deadline<\/em>, which broke the news, noted that the family had taken meetings with exhibitors and studios while searching for a new operator. AMC and Amazon MGM are said to have passed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSony did not respond to a request for comment from <em>THR<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe venues\u2019 zombie status had become a subject of curiosity and dissent in recent years. Petitions were circulated and protests were held over the issue, which came to be seen as emblematic of ongoing economic woes of both the film industry as well as L.A.

Buckminster Fuller. It\u2019s long been a popular industry choice for studio premieres and the lighting of its exterior served as shorthand for the romance of the town in Quentin Tarantino\u2019s <em>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe ArcLight helped pioneer premium modern multiplex features, including reclining stadium-style chairs, in-house gourmet dining and reserved seating. Alamo Drafthouse, another hospitality-driven exhibitor, has recently come under fire for allowing mobile ordering of concessions, a seeming pivot away from its strict previous prohibition on phone use during shows.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSince the Cinerama Dome and ArcLight Hollywood\u2019s closure, L.A. has seen a venue renaissance. This includes the arrival of the David Geffen Theater at the new AMPAS museum, Tarantino\u2019s restoration and reopening of the Vista Theatre, the rehabilitation of the old Eagle Theatre by non-profit Vidiots, a Netflix-funded glow-up of the Egyptian Theatre and the upgrading of the Alex Theatre so it can handle first-run films like <em>The Odyssey<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=4021\">\u2018Hellboy\u2019 Actor Ron Perlman Signs With Independent Artist Group (Exclusive)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The venues have been shuttered since 2020, with their zombie status becoming a subject of curiosity and dissent in recent years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4026,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2785,1287],"class_list":["post-4027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-alamo-drafthouse","tag-sony"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
