Regal Paseo

I’ve been unable to discover if Pacific Theatres brought in another architectural firm to design the theater interiors, but the non-residential portion of the Paseo Colorado project was designed in the Los Angeles office of the New York architectural firm Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects. The residential buildings were by RTKL Associates, Inc. Interestingly, RTKL has considerable experience designing theaters, but I don’t know if they had a hand in this multiplex.

nice theaters, the digital projection of ‘Looper’ was sharp as a tack and looked great. What was odd is that before the movie one of the employees came in and introduced the film and would check the image and sound, well he didn’t stay around for the feature film because the sound notably the dialogue was very very quiet – I couldn’t get up and complain as missing any of the movie would render the plot incomprehensible.

I was personally shocked over the tix price, which for the first (morning) screening of the day was a whopping $12.50 – ouch… If Arclight thinks they can charge that amount (and higher for their evening screenings) for their features at the 2014 opening on the East Coast at the Montgomery Mall Bethesda Maryland location, think again

You will need to change the above theatre to Arclight Pasadena soon.
They are also running preview screenings is afew of the finished auditoriums in the complex for those who can’t wait.

Pacific has confirmed that this theater will become an Arclight

I have not been to this theatre or the Sherman Oaks theatres. But I would imagine converted Arclight is not up to parr with “Hollywood” standards. Arclight Hollywood is a superbly designed complex. I am not a fan of multiplexes, but the Archlight Hollywood is the except to my rule. Each auditorium is flawless in design, with high ceilings, and great sightlines from wherever you sit. I’m never uncomforatable and yet to have a bad experience at Arclight Hollywood.

Arclight Hollywood – $15.50 to see a film, albeit in the best way possible. Wonder if there are enough people in the Pasadena area that will feel the same way. Will defintely price out a large amount of people who won’t pay $15.50 to see a film. That being said, I am very happy to hear that Arclight is opening a Pasadena location. Welcome to the neighbourhood!!

This theatre is being converted to their ArcLight brand in time for the summer 2010.

I went to the indoor mall at the Paseo location a couple of times in the 1980s. It was depressing. The new development is mixed condos and retail, and has done well so far.
