This is sad. I feel for the employees and the theater community. :( I’ve never been to LA but I’ve heard about the Arclight. It was popular among celebs.

I only know about it because it got featured a lot in the promo for OUATIH.

Fuck this pandemic

Also chiming in with Edgar Wright I saw a few tweets mentioning that the celebs should chip in to try and save it??

Obvs a different but I remember when the famous Hollywood sign was almost threatened with being removed and a few people like Hugh Hefner gave money to prevent that.

Yep or the studios.

If you live in Los Angeles and love movies you have been to @ArcLightCinemas. Hard to quantify what this chain means to movies in Los Angeles. It's also where studios screen tons of films and where many indie movies do premieres. The chain also makes tons of $ for the studios. pic.twitter.com/ADAFFotaZj

the paris theater in nyc was saved because netflix bought it for exclusive releases so something similar can happen

I’m so sad. I remember going to the Cinerama Dome to see Star Trek IV with my dad when I was little. So many memories since then. 😢https://t.co/ptQsiMgYoA
