It's the end of an era!
Arclight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres will close their doors permanently after heavy losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"After shutting our doors more than a year ago, today we must share the difficult and sad news that Pacific will not be reopening its ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres locations," the company said in a statement. "This was not the outcome anyone wanted, but despite a huge effort that exhausted all potential options, the company does not have a viable way forward."
"To all the Pacific and ArcLight employees who have devoted their professional lives to making our theaters the very best places in the world to see movies: we are grateful for your service and your dedication to our customers," the company's statement added. "To our guests and members of the film industry who have made going to the movies such a magical experience over the years: our deepest thanks. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you."
Among the popular movie theaters that will close include the iconic Cinerama Dome on Sunset in Hollywood, which was home to hundreds of movie premieres.
It's definitely sad to see it go.
