Now part of the fantastic Arclight group, the Cinerama Dome was opened in 1963 to screen the wide Cinerama movies on it’s curved interior, debuting with ‘It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’. The dome is often decorated elaborately for premiere seasons and was declared a California Historical Monument in 1998. Although now a first run theatre, it is of vital significance as a monument to classic cinema going, remaining the way it opened in 1963. The dome is equipped for 4K, 35mm, 70mm and the very rare 3 strip Cinerama format via three projectors (one of only three cinemas in the world to do so). **UPDATE: The Dome closed permanently during the Covid 19 pandemic, however there is hope of it being purchased and reopened.
