For other uses, see Fox Theatre. The Fox Theater, Westwood Village, also known as the Fox Village Theater, is a historic, landmark cinema in Westwood, Los Angeles, California, in the Westwood Village. Located in the heart of Westwood as well as being only a couple of minutes from UCLA. It is currently operated by Regency Theaters under the name Regency Village Theater. The theater has been one of the leading film premiere theaters in the history of cinema. Designed by architect Percy Parke Lewis[2] the Fox was originally built in 1930 and first opened on August 14, 1931,[3] with a Spanish Mission style to it.[3] The theatre was part of a widespread cinema construction program undertaken by Fox West Coast Theatres. The Fox Theater quickly became the most recognizable symbol of the new Westwood Village, a Mediterranean-style village development adjoining the University of California Los Angeles planned by Harold and Edwin Janss of the Janss Investment Company. It was remodeled in the late 1940s to the early 1950s.
[3] It became famous for the many Hollywood movie premieres held there and remains one of the main venues for movie premieres in Los Angeles. National General Theatres, the former Fox Theatres-West Coast, sold the theater to Ted Mann, then owner of the Chinese Theatre, and it became part of the Mann Theatres chain. In 1988, the Fox Theater was designated by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission as an Historic Cultural Monument (HCM #362). When Mann Theatres went out of business, Regency Theatres purchased both the Village Theater and a multiplex cinema at "The Plant" in Van Nuys, California in 2010. With ongoing efforts to revitalize Westwood Village, the Fox Theater continues to be a major drawcard and asset for the area. The most striking feature of the Fox Theater is the iconic 170-foot[5] white Spanish Revival/Moderne[6] tower which looms over the Broxton and Weyburn Avenues intersection. Atop the tower is a blue and white metal Art Deco “Fox” sign, which was renovated in the late 1980s.
Carved winged lions sit halfway up the tower at the base of projecting columns. A blue and white sign with the legend "Fox Westwood Village" is positioned at the bottom of the tower just above the entrance. By night, the elegant white tower literally becomes a beacon with its signs and the shaft of the tower illuminated. The rectangular cinema building immediately behind the tower features long rows of Churrigueresque stucco decorations. Perched atop the corners of the building stand carved griffins. The seating capacity of the cinema is about 1,400. The interior of the theater was remodeled during the late 1940s and early 1950s. The lobby and exits were upgraded and California Gold Rush artwork was added in the lobby.[7] Golden flourishes were added near the stage areas. In the late 1970s new 70mm projection equipment was installed and a larger screen added. The Fox Westwood Village has a reputation for top quality sound and projection. The most recent re-modeling was about 1998-1999 with the theater getting new seating and carpet.
[7] In 2014, Regency added the immersive Dolby Atmos sound system to the theater in time for the movie Transcendence. It remains one of the few remaining THX certified theatres in Los Angeles. The Fox Village Theatre is typically thought of as one of if not the best movie premiere venue in the world. For 60 years some of the biggest films in cinema have premiered at the theatre including: A Star Is Born, James Bond films, JFK, Mission: Impossible, Batman, each Harry Potter film, Independence Day, The Terminator, The Lego Movie, Shrek, and hundreds of others. Typically the streets get shut down and are used for red carpet arrivals. ^ a b c ^ 2 historic Westwood theaters saved from possible closureSkip to Search Form Skip to Page Content Asian Food Festival Announcement! “Parking can get iffy on the weekends but overall its a great place to go shopping for Asian food without going to SGV.” “This market is a blessing to those who in the Valley need to get some ingredients for Asian dishes.”

JayleenCristyKevin SternMarkimark MendozaTym Buacharern) — The manhunt continued Sunday for a suspect police said has gone on a violent month-long crime spree involving murder, attempted murder, carjacking, robbery and assault. Artyom Gasparyan has reportedly been linked to a deadly drive-by shooting in Van Nuys, two shootings in Burbank and a carjacking and hostage situation in Long Beach in which three people were injured (two shot, all three stabbed). Officials also said Gasparyan had an accomplice in the Long Beach incident — that accomplice shot himself in the head and died. On Sunday, CBS2’s Greg Mills spoke to people in the same Burbank neighborhood where Gasparyan allegedly shot a homeowner and gardener on the morning of Dec. 9. The neighbors on Catalina Street would only speak if their faces and names were not used.I’m very worried,” said one woman. Several residents said they are scared the alleged murderer will come back. He’s also committed crimes in Los Angeles, Carson, Arleta, Van Nuys and West Hollywood.
“I know he’s out there and with everything he’s done he seems like a very mentally unstable person and who knows what he’s capable of. I know he’s capable of shooting someone in their own driveway,” said another woman. The gardener reportedly recovered from his wounds (there has been no official update on his condition) but the homeowner is still in the hospital — Providence St. Joseph Medical Center. The residents are fully aware of the crimes Gasparyan is accused of committing.all kinds of things,” said a woman. Burbank Police told Mills they’ve received more than 100 unconfirmed sightings of the suspect. One person told Mills they’ve seen Gasparyan close to home. “Yeah, this is the guy we saw at the 7-Eleven,” said one woman. She said she and her kids saw Gasparyan at that store on Hollywood Way and Victory Boulevard around noon Sunday — this is just a few blocks from where the two men were shot. Residents just want him caught and soon.
