It was announced yesterday that Arclight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres, both owned by Decurion, will not be reopening.
The company made the following statement:
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.
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.
To all the Pacific and ArcLight employees who have devoted their professional lives to making our theaters the very best places in the world to see movies: we are grateful for your service and your dedication to our customers.
To our guests and members of the film industry who have made going to the movies such a magical experience over the years: our deepest thanks. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you.
These closures would include the famous Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Hopefully, someone can at least reopen this beloved location, which was built in 1963. The groundbreaking ceremony for the theatre was a star-studded event, featuring Spencer Tracy, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Edie Adams, and Dorothy Provine.
