Caruso founder Rick Caruso highlighted Paramount's significant legacy and commitment to the city and the future of movie theaters. THE LOT founder Adolfo Fastlicht emphasized their dedication to delivering an exceptional guest experience to complement Paramount's cinematic vision and the Bay's unique character within the Palisades Village.
