Petition Launched to Save Legendary LA Cinemas LOS ANGELES Southland movie fans stunned and saddened by April 12’s news that the ArcLight and Pacific theaters in the Los Angeles area will not reopen have taken to the internet to try to save one of L.A.’s most iconic movie houses. A petition launched on Change.org to preserve the iconic Cinerama Dome on Sunset Boulevard had more than 1,200 signatures as of the morning of April 13. It was started by a filmmaker and actor named Ben Steinberg, who wrote about the Cinerama Dome’s place in movie history. “The Cinerama Dome is a historic movie theater located in Los Angeles. It was built in 1963 and designed specifically to showcase widescreen motion pictures,” his petition states. “It has been the choice of the greatest filmmakers in the world to showcase their films including Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and many more. It is one of the last remaining Cinerama domes in the world. With the recent news that Arclight Cinemas is closing forever, we cannot allow the Dome to be demolished or changed. We the people (cinephiles) are calling on Amazon, Walt Disney Studios, Apple, Netflix or someone else to save the Dome, and continue the legacy of the Cinerama Dome.”
Print For the past few weeks, as vaccinations rolled out across the state and movie theaters reopened, I told myself the first theater I would go back to was the ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood. Now it looks like that is not going to happen. Late on Monday, ArcLight and sister chain Pacific Theatres, which together operated some of L.A.’s top cinematic destinations, said they would not be opening their doors after the pandemic. Perhaps we should have seen it coming. Ever since Los Angeles County moved out of the dreaded “purple” tier, we watched as AMC, Regal and even Laemmle announced their reopening dates. But not ArcLight.
