Had a feeling something like this might be coming. What dreadful news. Heartsick over this.

Haven't really posted much of anything on here lately about the whole Nettrix/Covid disaster, but this is just some of the worst news of the young year. 

I  know most people just don't care, and that's why this is happening in the first place. i've read enough posts here over the past 12 months to know how many feel about going to the theater. 

This is just sickening. This is the greatest multiplex I've ever been to. My heart aches over this one. 

I'm sure that filmmakers the world over are grieving over this news. This is just crazy awful. 

This is THE movie theater to go to on the weekend in town. It's just so incredible to see things at this theater. And The Dome; I've been going there for about all my movie going life. 

COVID sucks. Netflix sucks. 

Deadline: Pacific Theatres - Arclight Cinemas closing is now Deadline Official. notfabio Apr 12, 17:05

Pacific Theater built and owns the Cinerama Dome. Antibody Apr 12, 17:16

So it should be its own landlord at the Hollywood location. {nm} Antibody Apr 12, 17:17

It *should*. As it would be a travesty to wasted a landmark Hollywood theater. :( {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 12, 17:19

*waste. {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 12, 17:22

Apple or Amazon should make a serious offer if they can cherry pick Pacific/Arclight locations. Netflix has a 99+ year deal on The Egyptian. {nm} notfabio Apr 12, 17:25

The Dome is right down the street from Netflix. {nm} Antibody Apr 12, 17:29

Big ole poke in Netflix's eye by a rival if they can get away with it and Netflix is stuck with the money pit that is The Egyptian {nm} notfabio Apr 12, 17:32

Disney also reportedly sniffing around at theater locales {nm} budice Apr 12, 17:32

DL updated the article. "part of a thick lease negotiation" the landlord decides if they want the exhibitor back. {nm} Antibody Apr 12, 17:25

This could be negotiating in the press, but that statement and the gist I got from former Pacific/Arclight employees was pretty final. {nm} notfabio Apr 12, 17:28

did they just not apply for PPP relief? if it's only an issue of back rent being owed, it doesn't make much sense to shut down a whole chain cake boss! Apr 12, 17:27

People outside LA just need to understand how much of a big deal this is. {nm} budice Apr 12, 17:28

somebody will buy/take over the Hollywood location if only for the Dome alone (QT won't let it die) {nm} cake boss! Apr 12, 17:30

I'm not sure QT would pony up the money himself since I'm sure he's losing a bundle on New Beverly, but someone sure. {nm} notfabio Apr 12, 17:42

he owns NB and they mostly play his prints {nm} Moviesnob Apr 12, 20:17

People in L.A. need to understand that they're not the center of the world -- guy from NYC :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Apr 13, 00:57

Neither is NYC anymore... {nm} ~JPV~ Apr 13, 09:49
