Cinerama

ArcLight launched in 2002 at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood with a pioneering luxury experience that has since become more mainstream.

The event marked a defining moment for the newly opened theater: While the COVID-19 pandemic, economic headwinds and changes in the theatrical film model have led to the closure of several popular L.A.-area cinemas, such as Hollywood’s Arclight Cinerama Dome, Westwood’s Regency Village and Fox Bruin theaters and Landmark’s Westside Pavillion location, Esparza is moving in the opposite direction, taking a multimillion-dollar gamble with the opening of Milagro at the Norwalk Town Square shopping mall.

As celebrities began walking the Oscars red carpet on Sunday afternoon, several hundred protesters chanted “Cease-fire now” and “Long live Palestine” in front of the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles, a closed movie theater about a mile away from the Dolby Theater, where the awards ceremony is being held.

The Former Cinerama, is popping chocolate popcorn as we speak; go, and enjoy.

The pair are wistful about their life before the national stage, recalling shows at the Hollywood Bowl or seeing movies at the now shuttered Cinerama Dome on a Sunday afternoon.
