The theater is expected to reopen its doors sometime later this year under a new name.
SEATTLE — The iconic Cinerama sign was taken down on Thursday, as the movie theater continued its transition to new ownership.
The theater first opened in 1963, before falling into disrepair in the decades to follow. In the late 1990s, Paul Allen took over and began efforts to restore it. It was then shut down as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in 2020, and stood empty for years before it was in May of 2023. That deal did not included the “Cinerama” name, and will reopen later this year under a new moniker.
Thursday’s removal of the Cinerama sign was the first step in those efforts to rebrand with a yet-to-be-announced new name. There is currently no official word as to when the theater will reopen its doors. “SIFF is honored that this space, which has provided a truly powerful experience for filmmakers and film lovers alike, is now in our hands. These funds make it possible for us to open the theater’s doors to the public as soon as possible” SIFF Executive Director Tom Mara said in July. “We’re very eager to see the seats full again and to elevate what this space can do for artists, theater-goers, and the city at large.

How to get scary-close to 12 iconic L.A. film and TV horror homesBuilt by St. Louis architect Alfred F. Rosenheim in 1908, this Tudor-style estate has appeared on TV screens in both horror ('Dexter,' ' Buffy the Vampire Slayer') and non-horror ('Miami Vice,' 'The X-Files') contexts over the years. What really put the three-story, six-bedroom, 7,588-square-foot mansion on the must-visit map of creepiness, though, was the inaugural season of the FX series 'American Horror Story,' in which it served as the setting (and major plot point) for all kinds of seriously spooky stuff. That first season later came to be known as 'Murder House' and its namesake would live on in the Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk horror universe, including Season 8 of AHS ('Apocalypse') and several episodes of the spinoff series 'American Horror Stories.' (Fun — non-spooky — fact: In 1999, the Rosenheim Mansion was added to L.A.'s list of Historical-Cultural Monuments.) Spookiness factor: There's something about the heavy red brickwork, the Tiffany stained-glass windows and the fact that it served as a convent for Catholic nuns for half a century that makes this one of the spookiest places on the list. (And the less thought about what transpired in the basement — onscreen or off — the better.)
