Los Angeles’ favorite movie theater will have its doors closed a while longer. ArcLight Hollywood, the 15-screen cineplex that includes the iconic Cinerama Dome, has pushed its reopening away from 2024 and into 2025, Deadline first reported.
However, a source with direct knowledge of the Cinerama Dome/Arclight situation tells IndieWire that, as has been known in industry circles for some time, no specific window for the reopening is set, but the hope is that it will occur in 2025.
Final redesign, including the total number of screens (previously 14 plus the Dome) is still being worked on. The redesign will not include any notable changes to the Dome.
When reopened, the theater will face a significantly changed landscape, particularly in the specialized area. Los Angeles is no longer a two-theater platform city, but usually at least three. Among these are the nearby Grove, previously operated by Arclight’s one time owner Pacific Theaters.

Exclusive: A big upset to distributors before 2024 happens: The Cinerama Dome and adjacent former Arclight Cinemas won’t be reopening next year. Instead, mark your calendars for an anticipated Q2 2025 re-opening, Deadline hears.
The delay is due largely to the redesign that is going on in the space including restaurants and event space, etc., and has nothing to do with 2024’s broken theatrical release calendar. several weekends were left bare amid the fallout from the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes this year.
Since the Cinerama Dome and sister Arclight Cinema have shuttered, distributors have arthouse fare have cried that the Los Angeles market hasn’t been the same, particularly with the closure of The Landmark on Pico Boulevard back in May 2022. This despite the fact that some of that arthouse business has segued over to AMC’s Burbank and Century City locales.

Exclusive: The last thing we needed to hear as the box office and exhibition are rebounding from the pandemic was a piece of bad news, but word spread like wildfire in distribution and exhibition circles Monday that the Arclight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres won’t be reopening. The chain, owned by Decurion, has issued a statement — read it below.
Last week, I was hearing that the chain was shooting for a Memorial Day weekend reopening with A Quiet Place Part II and Cruella. Now those hopes look dashed, and at an unfortunate time because it’s expected that Los Angeles County could have movie theaters operating at 100% capacity by then — well before California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s June 15 wide-open order.
Decurion’s crown jewel is the Hollywood Arclight multiplex on Sunset Boulevard and its 58-year old Cinerama Dome, which made a big cameo in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a...

‘Things Blowing Up Good’ has been surefire entertainment since the beginning of cinema, but this ill-fated Cinerama extravaganza about the biggest explosion in recorded human history limps along despite some pretty darned impressive volcanic effects. It’s quite an entertaining spectacle, with various good performers in three soap opera plots, either overacting or loitering about with nothing to do. And don’t forget the from-left-field musical striptease.
