Bruin Theatre’s Future Uncertain as Regency’s Lease of Two Historic Westwood Movie Palaces Ends This Week


Westwood Village's Bruin Theatre and Fox Village Theatre will screen their last films -- for now -- on Thursday as Regency Theatres' lease ends.

Opened in 1937, the streamline-moderne style Bruin is being represented by commercial real estate firm Newmark, which repped the sale of the Fox Village. Both venues have a long history of hosting movie premieres, while the Bruin also played an important role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The 1931 Fox Village is set to reopen at an unspecified date after being acquired in February by director Jason Reitman and a consortium of partners including Christopher Nolan, Rian Johnson, Steven Spielberg, Chloe Zhao, J.J. Abrams and more.
