LAEMMLE ROYAL THEATRES

LOCATION: LOS ANGELES, CA
OWNER: LAEMMLE THEATRES
ARCHITECT: TANIZAKI & ASSOCIATES

Laemmle Theatres, LA’s premier destination for independent and foreign films, operates eight locations throughout Los Angeles. Their latest venue, Laemmle Royal, is a renovation of a circa 1920s single screen, 600-seat cinema on Santa Monica Boulevard in West LA. The six month transformation of the original 9,688 SF space included:

  • An expansion to a three-screen multiplex to accommodate 185, 86, and 41 movie-goers in each theatre.
  • An upgrade to digital projection from Christie Digital, making the Royal the first cinema in LA to operate without a projection booth.
  • Preservation of the original proscenium arch in the main auditorium.
  • Full stadium seating by Seating Concepts.
  • New restroom, concession stand, and box office.
  • Retrofit of the building with a fire sprinkler system and design/build MEP.
