Look Cinemas is set to reopen a former iPic dine-in theater in Old Pasadena by December, aligning with the holiday season and the upcoming releases of "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Dune: Part Three." The six-screen theater, situated at 42 Miller Alley in the One Colorado shopping complex, will offer plush reclining pod seats, enhanced picture and sound quality, and a unique LOOK + dine mobile ordering system featuring chef-crafted dishes and craft beverages.
The theater's reopening follows iPic's bankruptcy filing last February, as the company struggled with shifts in the exhibition industry. iPic had operated several locations, including one in Westwood, before its financial challenges. Brian Schultz, CEO of Look Dine-In Cinemas, expressed the company's determination to bring a local cinema back to Old Pasadena, highlighting the communal experience of movies as a way for people to connect and share experiences.
This announcement marks a wave of theater reopenings across the region. In Glendale, the historic Alex Theatre recently completed renovations that included a 35/70mm projector room and updated sound systems, in preparation for the release of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey." Meanwhile, Skydance recently reopened the Palisades' Bay Theatre, which closed due to the 2025 wildfires.
Additionally, Sony Pictures and Alamo Drafthouse are set to reopen the iconic Cinerama Dome and the adjacent multiplex, previously operated by Arclight Cinemas, in 2028.
