The impact of the Cinerama Dome on Hollywood film culture can be seen in a new Change.org petition asking studios to bring the 1960s cinema back to life after its closure — along with the entirety of ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theaters — was announced on Monday. Launched three days ago, the petition is approaching 10,000 signatures as of Thursday morning.
“With the recent news that Arclight Cinemas is closing forever, we cannot allow the Dome to be demolished or changed,” the petition reads. “We the people (cinephiles) are calling on Amazon, Walt Disney Studios, Apple, Netflix or someone else to save the Dome, and continue the legacy of the Cinerama Dome! We are also calling for Arclight Cinemas to be saved!”
The Cinerama Dome was named a Historic-Cultural Monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in 1998, meaning any permits to demolish or significantly alter the building must be presented to the commission.
