Look Dine-In Cinemas has closed its multiplexes in Redlands, Downey and Monrovia, leaving customers with gift cards and subscription memberships wondering about their investments. The theaters, which provided full-service dining and bar service in their auditoriums, have shuttered these locations, directing customers to the one remaining Look theater in Glendale, California.

Why it matters

The closure of these dine-in cinema locations highlights the challenges facing the entertainment industry as it continues to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These specialized theaters aimed to provide a unique dining and movie-going experience, but were unable to sustain operations at multiple locations.

The details

Look Dine-In Cinemas provided full-service dining with items such as smash burgers, chicken wings, pizza, quesadillas, sundaes and fried Oreos, as well as cocktails and mocktails. Its auditoriums featured recliner seats equipped with trays, and moviegoers could order food and drinks by scanning QR codes. The theaters were previously part of a chain called Studio Movie Grill that had a similar model.
