Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades Reopens Friday With ‘Ebenezer’

The Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades will reopen on Friday, about a month after Paramount Pictures announced it would take over the cinema. The venue has been closed since the January 2025 wildfires, and its return adds a local cinema to the Palisades Village shopping area, which reopened in August after repairs.

Paramount, Caruso and The Lot have updated the five-auditorium cinema with laser projection, surround sound, reclining seats and dine-in service. Opening films include “Ebenezer”, “The Cat in the Hat” and “Godzilla Minus Zero”; the programme will also include classic films, curated screenings and special events. Guests can order food and drinks to their seats, and the venue has a lounge and full-service bar.
