Pacific Theatres is a chain of movie theaters in the Los Angeles area of California. Pacific Theatres is owned by Decurion Corporation which also owns ArcLight Cinema Company (of which there are two: ArcLight Hollywood and ArcLight Sherman Oaks).
Developments
The company has some 300 movie screens in California. Pacific Theatres is active in real estate development through its Robertson Properties Group, which acquires and develops retail, office, and entertainment projects. Developments include theatres at The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles, and the ArcLight Hollywood and neighboring historic Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.[1]
Pacific also operates the only remaining drive-in theater in Los Angeles County, the Vineland Drive-In. It also operates a swap meet business on many of its former drive-in sites, although many of those sites were razed in the mid 2000's due to increasing real estate prices.
Reading Cinemas
In 2007, Reading International Inc purchased 15 theatres within the Pacific chain in California and Hawaii, and on February 22, 2008, became Reading Cinemas.[2]
History
The Forman family founded Pacific Theatres in 1946 and continues to own and operate the company through its Decurion Corp.
