Scheduled maintenance on Friday morning
Cinema Treasures will be undergoing some scheduled maintenance around 12:00am Pacific Time on Friday morning.
During this maintenance, the site will be online and available. However, for a period of up to thirty minutes, some theaters may appear to be missing from our theater guide as we reindex our theater database.
If you can’t find the theater you need, just be patient and wait a few minutes until it returns. The site should resume working normally no later than 12:30am Pacific Time.
For future status updates, please follow our Twitter account.
Thanks for your understanding!
