À propos du lieu

El Capitan Theatre anchors Hollywood Boulevard as an active cinema house restored to its theatrical origins.

Charles E. Toberman collaborated with Sid Grauman to construct this venue alongside the Egyptian and Chinese auditoriums. Originally built for live theatrical productions and drama, the venue shifted toward screening feature films as economic pressures mounted, later hosting the world debut of Citizen Kane before undergoing a major interior remodel.

Paramount Pictures operated the building for decades after altering the auditorium with modern decorative elements and curtains. An extensive renovation by Disney and Pacific Theatres later revived the original architecture, converting the cinema into a corporate premiere house that operates alongside the Hollywood Masonic Temple in the historic district.
