The ArcLight Hollywood is a 14-screen multiplex located at 6360 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, California. All 14 screens feature stadium seating and carry a THX certification for optimal sound and picture presentation. The building is located adjacent to the Cinerama Dome, which is now part of the Arclight complex. The theater opened March 22, 2002 and is a subsidiary of The Decurion Corporation, which also owns Pacific Theatres.
Amenities
ArcLight Hollywood provides numerous amenities to its guests. Each theater has reserved seating. When a patron buys a ticket, whether online, at a kiosk, or with the assistance of a clerk, the patron also chooses a desired seat [1]. The ArcLight's front seating is positioned as far back from the front of the theater as the screen's height, reducing the need to "crane" one's neck when viewing a film from the front seats. The seats in the ArcLight's theaters are wider than average and feature arm rests that are wide enough to support usage by patrons on both sides of the arm rest simultaneously [2].
Unlike the majority of contemporary theater chains, there are no ads or movie trivia displayed on screen prior to the feature presentation. The only promotional material shown before showtime are trailers and a brief ArcLight "feature presentation" logo.
At showtime, immediately before the trailers begin, an employee (called an Usher Greeter) introduces the film to the audience and states the ArcLight's policies regarding quality assurance, i.e. two ushers will remain in the theater until a few minutes after the film has begun to ensure that the picture and sound quality are acceptable [3]. After five minutes after the scheduled start time of a film has elapsed, further seating is prohibited, reducing interruptions.
In addition to special event screenings, the ArcLight regularly holds "21+" screenings in which patrons must be 21 years old or older to be admitted and patrons may consume alcoholic beverages purchased from the theater's bar [4]. The ArcLight routinely features exhibits of local art or props and costumes from current films.
Plans to open at least two more ArcLight theaters are underway [citation needed].
Parking
Parking is available in an adjacent garage at a rate of $2.00 for four hours, with validation.
