Bay Theater Reopens in Pacific Palisades With Johnny Depp Film
The Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades will reopen this Friday with the release of Paramount Pictures' film Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp.
Cinema Returns After Wildfires
The venue has remained closed for nearly two years following damage from the 2025 wildfires. Developer Rick Caruso and Skydance CEO David Ellison have led the effort to restore the location. The reopening coincides with the debut of the studio's new project featuring the actor. Several other films including Godzilla Minus Zero will screen during the weekend opening period.
Luxury Features And Programming
The cinema offers adjustable seating and personal dining tables for guests inside the building. A full-service bar with a video wall operates within the lobby area of the theater. Paramount Pictures plans to show first-run releases alongside classics and experiential events at this site. The Lot operates the location as part of its luxury dine-in theater chain network.
Broader Los Angeles Revival
This event joins other recent cinema projects like Sony's restoration of the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles. Amazon has leased the Culver Theater while Netflix purchased the Egyptian in Hollywood for similar purposes. Other studios are also restoring historic venues across the city to support local audiences.
