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 building opened in 1929 and originally served other purposes before Sherman Torgan converted it into a repertory cinema in 1978. That conversion marked the start of a new era, with the venue screening classics and lesser-known titles from different decades.
The name refers to Beverly Boulevard, where the cinema has stood for nearly a century, drawing audiences who value analog projection. Moviegoers often arrive in groups to watch double bills that are curated by theme and run late into the evening.
The cinema sits at 7165 Beverly Boulevard and offers tickets at moderate prices, with children under 12 receiving free popcorn during special afternoon screenings. Most showings take place in the evening and at night, so checking the schedule in advance helps plan a visit.
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.
