Bay Theater Pacific Palisades Reopens Friday With New Paramount Operations
The Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades officially reopens this Friday under new ownership by Paramount Pictures following January wildfires.
New Films And Dining Options
The multiplex launches with first-run films including Johnny Depp's Ebenezer and The Cat in the Hat. Five auditoriums feature immersive surround sound and laser projection technology for enhanced viewing experiences. Patrons can order food to their seats via service buttons while enjoying customizable seating adjustments. A full-service bar offers wine, beer, and signature cocktails like the Pacific Blush before movies start.
Paramount Takes Over Operations
Paramount Pictures, Caruso, and The Lot have reimagined the cinema with cutting-edge technology while preserving its neighborhood character. The venue was previously operated by Netflix until it closed after the devastating wildfires in January 2025. Following extensive remediation and repairs from the fires, Rick Caruso's Palisades Village shopping area reopened in August. Paramount now manages the site alongside luxury dine-in cinema company The Lot for daily operations.
Classic Screenings And Events
Beyond first-run releases, the theater will program nostalgic classics and curated screenings for diverse audiences. Special events are scheduled to complement the standard movie schedule throughout the reopening season. The lounge area includes a video wall for sports viewing to gather crowds before films begin.
