ooh get those westside director screenings away from the Aero {nm} mr teriffic Nov 18, 13:08

The Aero is (and will likely continue to be) their "in between" theater for stuff not big enough for Egyptian and too big for Los Feliz Moviesnob Nov 18, 13:14

but mostly where the talent who lives over there go to do the Q&A screenings #WestsideBias {nm} mr teriffic Nov 18, 13:18

($27m refurb in bonkers, as much as you love to see it) {nm} mr teriffic Nov 18, 13:41

still kinda silly how incredible the rep scene in LA is compared to the arthouse first run scene Moviesnob Nov 18, 13:48

The entire Irvine Spectrum cost $27 million (granted in the 90's) {nm} notfabio Nov 18, 13:50

You mean the Regal theater or the entire mall? Antibody Nov 18, 13:55

The 2020 refurish of Regal Irvine Spectrum cost at least $12M according to LAT. $27M is crazy. {nm} Antibody Nov 18, 13:58

27 million was the 90's cost of just the theatre (I think total it was 50 million for the entire center) {nm} notfabio Nov 18, 14:02

I remember driving down to watch Everest on that IMAX. {nm} Antibody Nov 18, 14:38

they should run it in tandem with the Bruin like Los Feliz 3. first run stuff mixed in with the AC programming {nm} mr teriffic Nov 18, 14:03

I wonder if Spielberg is covering most (or all of it) he's part of the filmmaker group and has a net worth of...7 billion. {nm} notfabio Nov 18, 14:05

But in any case, it's nuts, whoever bankrolled it has no plan to ever earn even half of that back. (Kevin Smith has lost a bundle on his) {nm} notfabio Nov 18, 14:07

It was a pretty nice refurbishment! It's a nice theater, with a world class IMAX. {nm} Goodvibe61 Nov 19, 19:01
