I saw that on Movietickets thing for the tour. Maybe they are going to stop showing films all together. ALL of next week’s new releases (March 12)Green Zone, She’s Out of My League, Remember Me and Our Family Wedding are opening at Arclight (tix for Midnight Shows now on sale). The Chinese has not had a new booking since January 15th with The Book of Eli. Seems funny they would start a Facebook page indeed.

they put the Chinese up for sale and are not renewing the leases on the Village and Bruin. Why start a Facebook page now? For the past couple of years they have been giving every indication they are getting out of this business. Weird.

Another weird thing. At movietickets they now list showtimes for the ‘Grauman’s Chinese Theatre Tour’.

FYI:

Mann has a Facebook page now. You can access it on thier main website page. I just posted a bit of my displeasure of them on thier Facebook wall.

Here is an August 1967 ad from the LA Times:

I think it is obvious at this point that Mann does not care. They are slow closing shop all over Southern California. I’m curious to see if someone is getting ready to take over the lease, and they are just coasting.

The Crazies will be the next D-Box release. However, it looks to be playing as a moveover on the format as Arclight is selling tickets for it at midnight.

will clash be in 3d at this theater? Should be a fun ride with 3d and dbox.

The Arclight runs a lot of indie titles also.

Great history of this theatre.

Probably the next big film they will get will be Clash of the Titans, with DBOX at the Chinese 6.

Even the Westwood theaters have had better bookings! It’s pathetic, but I guess the logic is that tourists are the main audience for the Chinese anyway, so why do much more than is needed to please them…

So what’s next? BROOKLYN’S FINEST, one would hope. The Chinese usually doesn’t get Overture releases, but it doesn’t seem like securing this one (which skews a lot less indie and therefore less ArcLight) would be too hard.

Well, The Chinese is not getting Cop Out, Arclight has tickets for sale already for it. The Chinese will go through the entire month of February without a major release. Amazing.

Yes, and unless they take in an Academy return engagement or a moveover next week, it’ll still be there. All three films are booked at ArcLight Hollywood.

According to the LA Times ad, “Book Of Eli” is still in Grauman’s this week.

Well, The Wolf Man is not opening at Chinese, Arclight has tickets on sale now. On a ironic note, The Blind Side is moving back from Chinese 6 to Arclight this weekend. Looks like WB is expanding the run of Blind Side because of Oscars.

Looks like another 2012 case where Los Angeles gets the D-Box run later then.

ArcLight is getting “From Paris With Love”.

While the Chinese plays the regular version.

It looks like From Paris With Love will be the next engagement. The Chinese 6 will probably get the D-Box version.

COP OUT sounds right. They do seem to split the WB films between Arclight and Chinese.

Danny Baldwin
Danny Baldwin on February 2, 2010 at 2:24 pm

I’d say COP OUT is very likely given it’s WB. Whether they’ll get WOLFMAN or PERCY JACKSON in the meantime is anyone’s guess. Like HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU, VALENTINE’S DAY appears to be getting the ArcLight treatment even though it’s WB.

BradE41 on February 2, 2010 at 2:21 pm

Any idea of what they are getting as a February movie? WOLFMAN perhaps?

Saw “The Book of Eli” with my film club on 1/16 – 7:30 PM show. Crowd was roughly 300-400 folks. Ran on film, not DP.

Danny, yes, Avatar premiered at the Chinese. I don’t know if it was in 3D or not.
