The Cinerama Dome, a landmark Hollywood theater, will be restored and reopen in early 2028. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will operate the theater and an adjacent 14-theater complex.
Restoration Plans
Alamo’s plan will preserve the distinctive Cinerama Dome’s geodesic exterior and large logo. The dome will not have in-theater dining, but the adjacent theaters will.
The Cinerama Dome’s massive screen supports 70 mm projection, which is having a moment thanks to Christopher Nolan’s films. The dome was originally commissioned in 1963 by Pacific Theatres founder William R. Forman as a state-of-the-art way to see movies using three projectors for its custom curved screen.
