Rialto Theatre, Historic movie theater in South Pasadena, United States.

The 1,200-seat Rialto Theatre displays Spanish Baroque architecture with Egyptian elements, featuring a deep stage and balcony seating along both sides.

Built in 1925 by architect Lewis A. Smith, the theater started as a silent film venue with a Wurlitzer organ and weekend vaudeville performances.

The theater gained recognition through appearances in notable films, including La La Land, The Player, Scream 2, and Michael Jackson's Thriller music video.

Located at 1023 Fair Oaks Avenue, the building now serves as a campus for Mosaic Church while maintaining its status on the National Register of Historic Places.

The theater survived a 1977 attempt to convert it into a parking lot and continued operating until 2007, when The Simpsons Movie became its final screening.
