PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — The Bay Theater at Palisades Village will reopen Friday, nearly two years after closing due to the Palisades Fire.
The theater, located at 1035 N. Swarthmore Ave., will reopen under a partnership between Paramount Pictures, developer Caruso and luxury cinema operator The Lot.
The renovated theater will feature five auditoriums equipped with laser projection and luxury reclining seats with adjustable head, neck, back and footrests.
Moviegoers will also be able to order food and drinks directly from their seats, with a menu featuring appetizers, burgers, entrees, desserts and cocktails. Each seat will have a personal dining table, USB charging port and service button.
The theater will also feature a lobby lounge and full-service bar with a large video wall for watching sports.
The opening lineup includes "Ebenezer," which opens nationwide Friday, "The Cat in the Hat," "Wild Horse Nine," "You Can See Everything" and "Godzilla Minus Zero."
Beyond first-run movies, the theater plans to offer classic films, special screenings and community events.
The reopening date comes about a month after Paramount Pictures and Caruso announced their partnership to bring back the theater, which had served as a neighborhood gathering place before the fire.
Palisades Village reopened over the summer as the community continues recovering from the devastating wildfire.
Advance tickets for the Bay Theater are now available at The Lot's website.
