Jason Reitman Acquires Fox Village Westwood Theater With Filmmakers Including Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, JJ Abrams, Chloé Zhao


Filmmaker Jason Reitman and associates are planning to take over the historic Fox Village Theater in Westwood Village.

The approximately 1,375-seat theater has been listed for sale for the past year, and Reitman is leading a group of other entertainment industry figures in the purchase, which was first reported by The Ankler’s Transom column. The theater’s real estate listing read, “This is a multi-generational asset which has not been previously made available for sale by the ownership adding to the uniqueness and rarity of the offering.” The Los Angeles exhibition scene has seen numerous changes since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020, including the closure of the Landmark Pico and the Cinerama Dome and Arclight Hollywood, which is reportedly set for a 2025 reopening.
