5. LANDMARK THEATRE ON PICO TO CLOSE
From the Westwood-Century City Patch:
Movie-goers took to Twitter last week with sadness and concern for L.A.’s dwindling supply of arthouse film theaters following news that the Landmark Theatres Pico location will close its doors at the end of the month after 15 years.
“For months, we’ve worked to extend our tenancy of The Landmark Pico but have been unable to reach terms. We send our deepest appreciation to the Pico staff, guests, and the filmmaking community for their support over the years,” said Landmark Theatres’ President Ken Holloway.
The Pico location, which is Landmark’s westside flagship, will close after its lease expires at the end of May.
