## Summary

LOOK Cinemas will reopen the six-screen former iPic cinema at One Colorado in Old Pasadena in December, after upgrading the venue. The move adds to a wider revival of Los Angeles-area cinemas and gives local audiences another place to see studio releases, independent films and special screenings.

The reopening is timed for 19 December, the expected release date of *Dune: Part Three*, dubbed “Dunesday”. LOOK, a dine-in cinema chain founded by Brian Schultz, currently operates seven venues with 67 screens. Other cinema projects in the region include the Bay Theatre’s reopening, planned returns for the Cinerama Dome and Westwood Village Theatre, and the Alex Theatre’s return to first-run films; cinema operators spent $2.7 billion on upgrades and new builds across the US over the past two years, according to Cinema United.
