Wednesday, October 18, marks the 101st anniversary of the opening of the iconic Egyptian Theatre. To celebrate the occasion, Netflix and the American Cinematheque are proud to announce that on Thursday, November 9, the theater will reopen with a screening of The Killer followed by a Q&A with director David Fincher. The Egyptian Theatre has been a fixture of cinematic history since Hollywood's Golden Age. A classic and esteemed movie palace originally built during the silent film era, the historic landmark is the home of the first Hollywood movie premiere and the birthplace of the red carpet. This long-awaited grand reopening comes three years after Netflix and the American Cinematheque partnered to restore the Egyptian Theatre. This one-of-a-kind venue is now ready to return as a must-visit landmark for local film lovers and visitors from around the world.
