Nearby Theaters
Located adjacent to the former Selznik Studios (owned by Amazon since 2021). The 1,658-seat Pacific Culver Stadium 12 was opened May 16, 2003. It was closed March 22, 2015 for conversion into an Arclight multiplex, which reopened on May 1, 2015. It was closed on March 17, 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was announced on April 13, 2021 that the closure would be permanent in all ArcLight/Pacific theatres.
It was announced in July 2022 that Amazon would be taking over the theater and it had reopened by December 2022 as the 1,230-seat, 6-screens Culver Theater (not to be confused with the original Culver Theatre which now operates as the Kirk Douglas Theatre and has its own page on Cinema Treasures).

at m00se11111 on Atom Tickets that handling the ticketing sales. So far, haven’t see a theatre website yet.
Please update, The Culver Theatre
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.
official website please update
https://web.theculvertheater.com/#/

Now named The Culver Theater.
Please update. There is a distinction…
be advised, the website can’t add The at the beginning. I had that issue with another location
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.
What became of the other six auditoriums?
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."
