Laemmle Theatres to vacate Sunset 5; Sundance to take over lease<\/h1>\n

It’s the end of an era for a West Hollywood movie house that has been a mainstay of the independent\u00a0cinema scene for the last 20 years.<\/p>\n

\"Sunset5-marquee\"<\/p>\n

Laemmle Theatres will stop operating\u00a0the Sunset 5\u00a0at the end of the month after being unable to come\u00a0to terms with the landlord on a new lease.<\/p>\n

Robert Redford’s Sundance Cinemas will take over the five-screen complex Dec. 1 and\u00a0will\u00a0temporarily close it for renovations,\u00a0with plans to\u00a0reopen\u00a0in late spring. This\u00a0marks the entry of Westlake Village-based\u00a0exhibitor\u00a0into the Los Angeles area. Sundance Cinemas operates\u00a0theaters in Madison, Wis., San Francisco and Houston.<\/p>\n

Although the Sunset 5 will\u00a0remain operational,\u00a0the loss of Laemmle as its programmer marks a significant shift for\u00a0the independent\u00a0film business in the Los Angeles area. Filmmakers such as Catherine Hardwicke\u00a0 (“Thirteen”), Bryan Singer (“The Usual Suspects”) and Bill Condon (“Gods and Monsters”) had their films premiere at the movie house on Sunset Boulevard near Crescent Heights.<\/p>\n
