Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, also known as Egyptian Hollywood and the Egyptian, is a historic movie theater located on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.[1] Opened in 1922, it is an early example of a lavish movie palace and is noted as having been the site of the world's first film premiere.[2]
From 1998 until 2020, the Egyptian was owned and operated by the American Cinematheque,[3] and in May 2020, Netflix bought the theater.[4] Following a large restoration project, the theater re-opened in November 2023, with Netflix handling the programming Monday through Thursday and the American Cinematheque overseeing Friday through Sunday.[5]
