Fox Theater, Westwood Village, Cinema in Westwood Village, Los Angeles, US

Fox Theater is a cinema in Westwood Village, Los Angeles, designed by Percy Parke Lewis in the Spanish Mission style. Its 170-foot white tower has a square shaft with fluted edges, two circular medallions above the roofline, and a blue-and-white Art Deco "Fox" sign at the top. Carved winged lions sit halfway up the tower, and the rectangular cinema behind it carries long rows of Churrigueresque stucco decoration.

Designed by architect Percy Parke Lewis in the Spanish Mission style, the theater was built in 1930 and opened on August 14, 1931, as part of a Fox West Coast Theatres construction program. A 1951 Skouras remodel added plaster gold swirls to the stage side-walls and raised capacity to 1,535. Mann Theatres bought it in 1973, and in 1988 it was designated Historic-Cultural Monument #362.

The theater has hosted premieres of films including Batman (1989), The Matrix (1999) and every Harry Potter film, and Westwood Village still holds about 24 premieres a year. In 2019 it appeared in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It closed on July 25, 2024, after its lease expired.

The theater stands at the corner of Broxton and Weyburn Avenues, across the street from the Fox Bruin Theater and a short walk from the UCLA campus. The auditorium seats about 1,400. It closed on July 25, 2024, after its lease expired and is set to reopen in 2027 following a $25 million revival, programmed by American Cinematheque.

In February 2024, an investor group led by filmmaker Jason Reitman agreed to buy the theater. The group included more than two dozen filmmakers and directors such as Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, and J. J. Abrams. They planned to add a restaurant, bar, and gallery, and to display props and film collections, including Chris Columbus's 16mm prints.
