Dine-In cinemas are expensive to run and the patrons did not order much is the cause of the failure of the LOOK chain in working-class neighborhoods. I think developers of dine-ins should remain in hi-income areas only.

LOOK Dine-In Cinemas has abruptly closed three locations in metropolitan Los Angeles as the independent theater chain continues to face financial difficulties.
The Texas-based company confirmed to KTLA on Monday that its theaters in Downey, Redlands and Monrovia closed over the weekend. Its Glendale location at 128 Artsakh Ave. remained open.
“This was not an easy decision and is in no way a reflection on the dedication, talent or hard work of the teams in these locations,” the company said in a statement. “California has been an important part of our company’s history, and we are deeply grateful for the commitment our team members bring to our customers and communities every day.”
On Sunday night, Redlands News published photos of workers removing furniture and equipment from the location at 10030 Alabama St. and loading them into a U-Haul. Showtime listings for the theater were still available on Fandango as late as 7:45 p.m., though it is unclear whether those screenings took place, the outlet reported. ”
Look closed up here on February 1, 2026
This theater is no longer listed as a location on LOOK’s website.
