Also, the Landmark website, Google, and Fandango all refer to it as Landmark Theatres Sunset - not Landmark Sunset 5

I can confirm that the theatre reopened June 15, 2023. It premiered with an immersive experience for the film ASTEROID CITY - the whole lobby was filled with sets and props from the movie, and they were playing it on all 5 screens for two weeks straight.

For the record, this theater finally reopened (after the March 16, 2020 Covid shutdown) on August 7, 2021. American Cinematheque has partnered with the theater, and I believe one of the screens is being programmed full-time by them for repertory shows, Q&As, etc. Here’s an excerpt from a May 19, 2021 Variety article following an AC press release: “ while the Egyptian Theatre remains closed for renovation until late 2022, the American Cinematheque has partnered with the Los Feliz 3 Theatre to showcase films, Q&As and special events seven days a week beginning late July. In line with the American Cinematheque’s ongoing programming, the Los Feliz 3 has installed reel-to-reel 35mm projectors.”

This theater just quietly reopened this week (I think Tue July 6th), and it’s now called the Regal Sherman Oaks Galleria: https://www.regmovies.com/theatres/regal-sherman-oaks-galleria/1483#/buy-tickets-by-cinema?in-cinema=1483&at=2021-07-07&view-mode=list

Funny tidbit from the new novelization of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood: Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt’s character) asks out the secretary of Marvin Schwarz (Al Pacino’s character) and takes her to see I AM CURIOUS (YELLOW) at the Royal Theatre. So that would’ve been March 1969ish?

This theater is now called Brain Dead Studios. It’s owned by the clothing company Brain Dead, and it’s a repertory theater that is programmed by the company’s owner. Films are frequently shown in 35mm, each night at 8:00pm. Here’s the blurb from their website:

“On October 13th 2020, Brain Dead Studios opened its doors on 611 Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles. Featuring a cafe, lounge, showroom and repertory cinema, the space serves as a cultural center, programming both locally in Los Angeles and virtually throughout the world. BDS celebrates the weird, wonderful and unsung. 611 N. Fairfax Ave. Los Angeles, CA

BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS is an experiential space collaboratively curated by the Brain Dead family to share our design, creation and inspiration. Located at the historic Silent Movie Theater site in Los Angeles, the Studios feature a green room, cafe, and movie theater.

The green room showcases the latest Brain Dead merch drops, alongside apparel exclusive to the Studios. Everything on site is sourced and created with thought, from our handpicked record collection to our collabs with local growers and artisans.

The patio restaurant SLAMMERS serves coffee all-day, as well as lunch and dinner. Our culinary director selects local, seasonally sourced foods to create a unique menu of cafe cuisine inspired by recipes from around the globe.

The movie theater remains true to its origins as an arthouse repertory cinema. Each month we present an all-inclusive blend of films ranging from the silent era to the contemporary, orchestrated around the nuances of a specific theme."
