Sony Pictures Entertainment said it plans to reopen and restore the iconic Cinerama Dome, a historic Los Angeles landmark for film buffs, after a six-year shutdown that began during the pandemic.

Renovations are set to begin in August on the Dome, which will be operated by Sony Pictures subsidiary Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, and run through early 2028, according to a statement from Sony on Wednesday. The work will aim to preserve the historic legacy and moviegoing experience with the “Cinerama” name and exterior branding left intact.

The venue is one of the most iconic cinemas in Los Angeles, famous for its dome structure that’s been featured in several films including Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” which Sony released in 2019.

“We’re bringing the Dome back, baby,” said Tom Rothman, chairperson and chief executive officer of Sony Pictures. “We believe in moviegoing down to our soul, and no venue on earth stands more for that than the one-of-a-kind Dome. I am deeply proud that Sony is investing in Hollywood, literally.”

The Dome, with its distinctive aesthetic, immersive large-format curved screen and traditional concession experience, has been a beloved destination in Hollywood for generations. The refurbished theater won’t offer Alamo’s signature dine-in service, but it will feature additional programming such as repertory screenings, filmmaker series, premieres and special events, according to the company.

Sony Pictures, a unit of Japan’s Sony Group and home to the Spider-Man and Jumanji franchises, has been increasingly looking to diversify its studio portfolio to include more experiences and innovative spins on the business of movie theaters. In recent years, the company has acquired the Alamo Drafthouse dine-in cinema chain and invested $100 million in Cosm, an operator of large-screen theaters that show films and sporting events.
