This theatre is one of L.A.’s most popular independent film theatres. It opened in August 1992, and was closed by Laemmle on November 29, 2011. It will be taken over by Sundance Cinemas who hope for a late-spring 2012 reopening (under a different name).

Nice that they replaced the seats in recent years. I expected to see some really old low back Irwins.
There was a good turnout for the final night with nice crowds for Rampart, Melancholia and The Skin I Live In. The lobby was also full of well-wishers stopping by to say goodbye. I’m definitely curious to see what Sundance does with the space.
For the record, this was what Laemmle’s Sunset 5 had programmed yesterday on their final day 11-29-2011:
Another Happy Day 1:30pm 7:00pm
Elite Squad – The Enemy Within 1:20pm 7:10pm
The Skin I Live In 1:00pm 3:50pm 7:00pm 9:40pm

In case anyone is interested. This is what the Sundance Cinemas are like.
Glad Sundance Cinemas is taking over. Hopefully they have decent prices. I like to see two to three movies a week and can’t afford $16.00 a pop at Archlight. I don’t care how great the projection is.
I have the impression Sundance Cinemas are pricey. Not sure how much but they are a high-end theatre chain. It looks like WeHo, Hollywood area is getting to cost. The new owners have the nerve to charge $16.00 but cannot offer decent first run product. Arclight with Membership card and online purchases can run from $12.75 weekend and Saturday matinees and $15.00 evenings, holidays and all day SUnday. Still a better option than sitting in a stale AMC theatre with unruly patrons and endless advertising.
Sundance here in San Francisco isn’t THAT pricey. It can get there depending on when you go but they seem to have a lot more flexible pricing as far as charging less M-Th etc. etc.
We’ll see when it opens I guess. I’ll patronize it quite often I’m sure. It is only a block away from my apartment.
Following Link, THANKS!
Laemmle has a winner with The NoHo 7. I’ve already seen three movies there at half or less than ArcLight prices and the Premiere card is the best deal in movies.
