I stopped by Grauman’s Chinese Theatre today. My primary objective was to finally get around to taking the official tour (like many Southern California residents, I often neglect to take advantage of such offerings). However, a secondary motivation was rooted in the controversial rumors that are currently\u00a0hanging over\u00a0the theatre’s\u00a0pending change in ownership.<\/div>\n

For those who haven’t been keeping up wit the news\/rumors\/gossip, there are alleged plans to either convert Grauman’s back to being a multi use venue (reinstate\u00a0live events and possibly rebuild the stage) or, according to more hysterical sources, turn the world’s most famous theatre in to a nightclub.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As to what I managed to uncover; while the theatre’s staff likely aren’t privileged to long term plans, I was left with the impression that\u00a0Grauman’s will continue on as a movie venue for the foreseeable future. Much of the current staff has been offered continued employment and there remain films\/premiers booked for several months to come. If I had to speculate, I would surmise the modern Chinese 6 annex would be the only venue with a questionable future.<\/div>\n

So, happy 84th to Grauman’s Chinese. May your golden doors continue to welcome the movie going world for many more\u00a0years to come.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
