One of those auditoriums was converted to an event space with a 4K laser projector and Dolby 7.1/5.1 audio; it can host 85 people in seats or 150 people standing.
The other five auditoriums were converted to color grading / sound mixing facilities in a partnership between Los Angeles sound studio 424 Post and global post-production studio Harbor.
From theasc.com: “One stage features a 34' 8K Samsung IWA LED display ["The Wall”] and a Meyer Sound Ultra Reflex sound system with Dolby Atmos for mastering projects in 4K HDR. The space has seating for more than 50 people. A second theater, also with seating for more than 50, features a DCI-certified 4K Samsung Onyx LED display and a Meyer Sound Ultra Reflex system with Dolby Atmos. The IWA display peaks at 1,000 nits, while the Onyx display peaks at 300 nits. Both stages are supported by Sony X310 HDR reference displays.
Culver Post’s three other stages feature Christie 4K CP4420-XE projection systems and Dolby Atmos sound."
What became of the other six auditoriums?
According to Fandango, capacity is 1,075. Theater capacities: 253 (1), 255 (2), 199 (3), 192 (4), 88 (5), 88 (6)
This is one of two theaters currently operating in the US that have a Samsung Onyx LED screen, with the other theater being Star Cinema Grill in Richmond, Texas. However, that theater only has the one LED theater, whereas The Culver Theater has five LED theaters.
They use Onyx in aud. 1-4, stick to laser projection in aud. 5, and use Samsung’s The Wall in aud. 6.
All theaters can display content in 4K (with aud. 6 displaying up to 8K), and all of the theaters are equipped with Dolby Atmos-capable sound systems.
be advised, the website can’t add The at the beginning. I had that issue with another location

thanks, I was looking at Fandango for information, even Amazon for a proper name for it.
If Amazon, like Netflix is going to revive & keep older theatres active, pay thee workers a living wage, I’m ok with it.
There’s alot more worse things in the world.
at m00se11111 on Atom Tickets that handling the ticketing sales. So far, haven’t see a theatre website yet.
Please update, The Culver Theatre
So Amazon now operates theaters too? What is wrong with this world today?!
I came up with a bunch of links, trying to get a website to reference for this- where did you determine what the theatre name is?
Please update its The Culver Theatre
This has reopened.

The two brands operated more than 300 screens in California, including the coveted Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. In a blow for California moviegoers — and those in Los Angeles in particular — the ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres are closing all of their locations for good after seeing their business decimated by the pandemic.
ArcLight’s stable includes the prized Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. The Dome, built in 1963, is the crown jewel of the small theater complex constructed in more recent years.
ArcLight Hollywood is a bastion for both first-run movies and independent titles and, at one time, was one of the first L.A. cinemas to offer high-end food. It has also been a favorite site place to stage premieres of indie titles, and is beloved by many cinephiles.
ArcLight’s locations in Hollywood and elsewhere, including Sherman Oaks, are operated by Pacific Theatres. The Pacific side of the aisle includes such popular locations as the Grove in West Hollywood.
“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,” said a statement issued by Pacific Theatres, which is owned by the Decurion Corporation.
No ArcLight or Pacific location has reopened since the pandemic began. On Monday afternoon, word quickly spread across Hollywood that they will remain dark for good.
It wasn’t immediately clear who the pool of potential buyers might include for the more high-profile locations, should they be up for sale, such as the ArcLight Hollywood complex.
Last year, Netflix closed a deal to operate the Egyptian, another landmark Hollywood theater that’s not far from the Cinerama Dome. Among the mega chains, Cinemark only has two L.A. locations (one in Baldwin Hills and the other in Playa Vista).
“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 statement continued. “It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you.”
The National Association of Theatre Owners has warned all along that smaller and regional independent chains, such as Pacific and ArcLight, might never recover from the COVID-19 crisis.
“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,” read the statement issued by Pacific Theaters. “It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you.”
Arclight Culver City faces eviction.

It open as the ArcLight brand on May 1, 2015. Please correct date.
This opened on May 16th, 2003. Its grand opening ad can be found in the photo section for this cinema.
At the new ArcLight Culver City. Definitely upscale.
Today is the last day of Pacific operations here. Conversion to ArcLight begins soon. 2003-2015. No word on how many screens will be here.
Last day for this place is the 31st. Closes all my of April to convert to ArcLight
This theater could use the face-lift, yet i am not sold on the Arclight conversions. They do not change the seating layout, so there are new seats, but the same legroom, in the case of Arclight Sherman Oaks, is dreadful. I hate paying premium prices only to be crammed up against the seat in front of me.
I wish Pacific Theaters would change the Northridge or Chatsworth locations to Arclight, those are dreadful and threadbare, with terrible sound and picture.
It appears that this will be getting the Arclight treatment.
ArcLight opens in Culver City, CA, late spring 2015!
We’re converting the Pacific Theatres in Culver City into an ArcLight! The theater will include ArcLight’s signature amenities, including reserved seating, black-box auditoriums, commercial-free movies, and gourmet cuisine, as well as 21+ screenings and our newly enhanced Membership program.
