The streaming giant bought Grauman's Egyptian Theatre in 2020.
Netflix, which purchased both Grauman's Egyptian Theatre from the nonprofit American Cinematheque in 2020, will reopen the theatre for the first time in three years next month. The first movie to screen there? The Killer, a new film from director David Fincher and based on a series of French graphic novels. Under the 2020 deal, Netflix planned to expand the theatre and use it to meet theatrical exhibitiion requirements for awards like the Oscars.
"The Egyptian Theatre is an incredible part of Hollywood history and has been treasured by the Los Angeles film community for nearly a century," Netflix Films head Scott Stuber said when they first acquired the venue."We look forward to expanding programming at the theater in ways that will benefit both cinema lovers and the community."
Netflix will reopen the theater on November 9 with a screening of The Killer, and will release a documentary short titled Temple of Film: 100 Years of the Egyptian Theatre, on that same day. Directed by Angus Wall, the film includes interviews with Guillermo Del Toro, Rian Johnson, Lynette Howell Taylor, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, and the theatre's restoration architect Peyton Hall.
