The Bay Is Back: Beloved Palisades Theater Reopens Its Doors

Today, the Bay Theater officially welcomes moviegoers back to Palisades Village.

Its November 13 reopening marks more than the return of a neighborhood movie theater. It's another meaningful milestone for the Pacific Palisades community and the return of a gathering place where neighbors, families and film lovers can once again experience the magic of the movies together.

Reimagined by Paramount Pictures, Caruso and THE LOT, the Bay combines the shared experience of going to the movies with cutting-edge technology, luxury seating, in-theater dining and spaces designed to bring the community together.

A Beloved Theater Returns

The Bay has long been part of the fabric of Pacific Palisades, making its reopening a celebration of both the theater's history and its next chapter.

That community spirit will remain at the heart of the theater as the Bay once again welcomes audiences through its doors.

Opening weekend brings a full slate of films, including Ebenezer, The Cat in the Hat, Wild Horse Nine, You Can See Everything and Godzilla Minus Zero.

A New Way to Experience the Movies

Operated by THE LOT, the Bay features five beautifully appointed auditoriums equipped with immersive surround sound and laser projection.

Inside, guests can settle into fully customizable luxury seats with adjustable foot, back, head and neck support, built-in USB charging and personal dining tables. Dedicated service buttons also make it easy to order food and drinks without leaving your seat.

And the experience goes well beyond popcorn.

A chef-driven, made-to-order menu features appetizers, snacks, burgers, entrées and desserts delivered directly to guests' seats, alongside beer, wine, mocktails and signature cocktails including the Pacific Blush, Sunset Mule and Coastline Cantarito.

More Than a Movie Theater

The Bay is also designed to be a destination before the previews begin and after the credits roll.

Its lobby lounge and full-service bar feature a state-of-the-art video wall for sports viewing, giving guests another place to meet, grab a drink or spend time together.

Programming will extend beyond new theatrical releases, too, with nostalgic classics, curated screenings, special events and other experiences created with the local community in mind.

Back to the Big Screen

At its heart, the new Bay is a celebration of what makes seeing a movie together special. With the theater's return, Pacific Palisades once again has a place to gather, discover a new favorite film and experience stories the way they were made to be seen: together on the big screen.

The Bay Theater is now open at 1035 N. Swarthmore Avenue in Pacific Palisades.
