Inside The Six-Year Fight to Reopen a Hollywood Movie Palace A 26-year-old actor rallied, protested and eventually cajoled a secretive family into a deal Nearly 20 years ago, I stumbled out of the Cinerama Dome at about six in the morning, emerging from a screening of The Dark Knight just after sunrise. There is no better theater in Los Angeles for big event movies. The Dome is where I first saw Avatar, Moonlight and the premiere of at least a half-dozen major TV shows.
