Netflix Acquires Hollywood’s Historic Egyptian Theatre from American Cinematheque

Los Gatos, CA-based Netflix acquired the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood with plans to invest in the theatre’s renovation, and will use the revitalized space for special events, screenings and premieres. American Cinematheque sold the historic theatre, which will remain the home of the nonprofit.

Netflix and American Cinematheque are joining forces to ensure the long-term future of the 1922-built theatre. This collaboration will enable American Cinematheque to expand the scope and diversity of its widely praised movie and event programming, its filmmaker-centric festivals and its educational outreach at the beloved theater.

Netflix Films’ Scott Stuber says, “The Egyptian Theatre is an incredible part of Hollywood history and has been treasured by the Los Angeles film community for nearly a century. We’re honored to partner with the American Cinematheque to preserve the theater’s storied legacy and continue providing remarkable film experiences for audiences. We look forward to expanding programming at the theater in ways that will benefit both cinema lovers and the community.”
