Auditorium 2 has been converted to a Macro XE auditorium. It is the first Macro XE in the US and it’s one of the first theaters to permanently install an ‘HDR by Barco’ projector.
We can only pray that they won’t crop 2.39:1 films to 1.85:1 like they do for 4DX (auditorium 15).
Please rename Cinepolis Pico Rivera and told seats 1441

This theater has something odd. The outside box office windows are covered over and you have to purchase tickets inside. Also the ticketing kiosks have metal over their screens and are also out of service.
On March 16th, 2017, the CBS Morning Show aired a story about this theater adding a playground to one of its auditoriums:
“Movie Theater Playgrounds Latest Tactic to Lure Families to Big Screen”
Cinépolis has two types of theaters. A “luxury” line, which offers alcohol, leather seating, and attendants, and a standard line, with amenities similar in style to the average AMC theater. The luxury cinemas are generally found in affluent areas like Westlake Village, Laguna Nigel, etc… while the standard cinemas are found in less affluent neighborhoods, like this one in Pico Rivera.
No offense intended by any means, especially as Pico Rivera was my hometown.
Krikorian sold the theatre to Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, effective 2/11/15.
One interesting thing about this theater, although it is listed by Krikorian as a 15 plex, it actually is only a 14 plex. A large format screen that was supposed to be auditorium 1 was never built. If you look at the overhead view you can see the empty lot that was supposed to be the missing auditorium. Theaters are numbered 2-15. Inside you can see the wall where the theater entrance was supposed to be.
