LOS ANGELES—Southland movie fans stunned and saddened by April 12’s news that the ArcLight and Pacific theaters in the Los Angeles area will not reopen have taken to the internet to try to save one of L.A.’s most iconic movie houses.
A petition launched on Change.org to preserve the iconic Cinerama Dome on Sunset Boulevard had more than 1,200 signatures as of the morning of April 13. It was started by a filmmaker and actor named Ben Steinberg, who wrote about the Cinerama Dome’s place in movie history.
