New Beverly Cinema, Movie theater in Los Angeles, US.

New Beverly Cinema is a revival house in Los Angeles that screens older films, foreign productions, and independent works on 35mm film. The auditoriums are small and cozy, with cushioned seating and a screen that recalls mid-20th-century cinema design.

The 300-seat building, designed by John P. Edwards and Warren Frazier Overpeck, opened in 1929, apparently as a candy store. It later hosted variety performers such as Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, became the nightclub Slapsy Maxie's, and in the late 1950s turned into a cinema under names including the New Yorker, Europa and Eros. On May 5, 1978, under Sherman Torgan, it reopened as the New Beverly with a double feature of A Streetcar Named Desire and Last Tango in Paris.

The name comes from Beverly Boulevard, but the building opened in 1929 as a candy store and later hosted variety acts such as Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis and Jackie Gleason before becoming a nightclub called Slapsy Maxie's, named after boxer and actor Maxie Rosenbloom. Ushers still sell popcorn and burgers in the aisles.

Daily double features usually start at 7:30 p.m., with midnight screenings on Fridays and Saturdays; weekend Family Matinees begin at 2:00 p.m. and the Cartoon Club runs at 10:00 a.m. on one Saturday a month. The 300-seat house shows double bills in 35mm, or 16mm when only that print exists.

Quentin Tarantino owns the venue and programs monthly selections, often using prints from his personal archive of 35mm and 16mm reels. This personal curation gives screenings a special character, as many titles are otherwise hard to see.
