Hollywood’s iconic Cinerama Dome to reopen under deal with Sony, Alamo Drafthouse

The Cinerama Dome, a landmark Hollywood theater shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic, will be restored and reopen.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will operate the massive 86-foot-wide curved dome theater and an adjacent 14-theater complex. Alamo’s owner, Sony Pictures Entertainment, announced the plan to restore the Dome and reopen it in early 2028.

Alamo’s plan will preserve the distinctive Cinerama Dome’s geodesic exterior and large logo that have been a Hollywood landmark since the theater opened in 1963. The dome will not have in-theater dining, as is common in other Drafthouse theaters.
