The Cinerama Dome and the attached theater complex formerly known as ArcLight Hollywood plans to reopen, two people familiar with the matter told The Times on Friday.
Records from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control show multiple permit applications were placed on Nov. 22, including permits for catering, a portable bar, events and a “general eating place.” All permits were still pending as of Friday.
The dome has been closed since the start of the pandemic. On April 12 of this year, Pacific Theatres announced it would not reopen the historic venue, or its other theaters, due to financial pressures caused by the pandemic. “After shutting our doors more than a year ago, today we must share the difficult and sad news that Pacific will not be reopening its ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres locations,” Pacific Theatres said in a statement. “This was not the outcome anyone wanted, but despite a huge effort that exhausted all potential options, the company does not have a viable way forward.”in buying cinema locations formerly operated by ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres.
AMC recently reopened the highly trafficked former Pacific Theatres locations at the Americana at Brand in Glendale and the Grove shopping center in Los Angeles. Regal, AMC’s largest rival,Pacific Theatres in June filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in order to liquidate its remaining assets. The ArcLight brand, which was founded in 2002 and became known for pioneering the sale of alcoholic beverages and gourmet food in theater lobbies, had 11 locations, including six in the Los Angeles area.
The Cinerama Dome first opened in 1963. The venue survived a demolition scare in 1998, when a proposal by Pacific Theatres would have stripped the dome and replaced it with restaurants and a movie multiplex. However, fierce public opposition overpowered the effort and Pacific Theatres agreed to keep the location intact.filmmaker Rian Johnson told The Times in April“If you lived in this town and loved movies, you’ve had life changing experiences in that complex,” Johnson said via email.
