Originally opened as the Pacific Theatres Galleria 16, this megaplex in the new Sherman Oaks Galleria reopened in November 2007 as the second ArcLight cinema—the luxury cinema brand of Pacific Theatres.

I call this place “Arclight Lite”. Super cramped lobby that desperately tries to duplicate Arclight Hollywood’s lobby – using half the space! Good sounds, good screen, seats ain’t broken in yet – one of my film club members complained about the seats when we saw “Juno”. And the poor guy who did the pre-show introduction was struggling to “remember his lines.”
At least it ain’t $14.00 on a Friday night like it’s big brother.
At a screening of “Beowulf” in 3-D on Thanksgiving Day the guy had trouble eeking out an intro at the Hollywood Arclight. Maybe they should not let employees partake of the 21 screenings. :–)

The Santa Monica office of architectural firm Gensler & Associates designed the rebuilding of the Sherman Oaks Galleria, including the ArcLight Cinemas. Gensler also designed the ArcLight project in Hollywood.
Being from New Jersey, this may seem to be a stupid question, but…in the movie “Valley Girl” (1983) they show a Sherman Oaks Galleria at the closing credits. Is this the same Sherman Oaks Galleria, or has it been remodeled or expanded.
Markp – Wikipedia.org has a nice history on the Sherman Oaks Galleria. The old indoor mall (from “Valley Girl” and also seen in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”) and the current outdoor mall are basically completely different properties located on the same site. The old mall had tons and tons of stores, a Pacific 4 Theatres complex and, during its day, was super busy. The new mall has very few stores, a restaurant venue that can’t seem to make it, parking a mile away, and a gym. Progress.
Zubi, if thats progress, then I think I’ll stick with old school.
