About this place

The Egyptian Theatre is one of Hollywood Boulevard's defining movie palaces, restored as a destination for film lovers. Its courtyard and Egyptian Revival design make it feel like a physical monument to the way Los Angeles learned to sell cinema as spectacle.

Trivia

The theatre hosted the first Hollywood movie premiere in 1922, for Robin Hood starring Douglas Fairbanks.
