Now the Westwood Fox Village, known for its 170-foot Spanish Revival Art Deco tower, is expected to undergo a renovation; the filmmaker initiative by Jason Reitman earlier this year saving the 1931 cinema. No word on when and how construction is scheduled to go down.

The Bruin’s fate is up in the air. No one has come through yet to save the 1937 cinema which counts 670 seats to the Fox Village’s 1,400 seats. The Bruin’s fate remains under review.

Both theaters to this day remain destinations for major studios when it comes to Hollywood premieres including Challengers, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and It: Chapter Two among several recent tentpoles. The Fox Village boasts a 70MM projector; the site being one of the highest grossing venues for Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza coming out of Covid.

The Village will close the curtains on Apple’s Fly Me to the Moon, which is currently playing there, while the Bruin will dawn with this weekend’s big blockbuster, Twisters , which overperformed to $81.2M across the nation.

Regency has operated the venues for the 14 years.
