Historic Westwood Village and Bruin Theaters Closing This Week

Regency Theatres ends its 14-year stewardship of the iconic Los Angeles venues; future plans for the Bruin remain uncertain.

Westwood Village, opened in 1931, will be renovated and reopened by a group of filmmakers led by Jason Reitman.
The Bruin, which opened in 1937, has no confirmed future plans as its owners evaluate options.
Both theaters are Los Angeles cultural heritage monuments known for hosting major Hollywood premieres.
Regency Theatres has managed the two historic cinemas since 2010, enduring challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
The closures reflect broader trends in the cinema industry, with other historic theaters also being repurposed or shuttered.
