The first movie theater to call Inglewood home in over 30 years will be opening on Friday, bringing dine-in options, luxury seating and state-of-the-art IMAX viewing.

Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas Inglewood IMAX is the first business to open at Hollywood Park, a large shopping, entertainment and mixed-use district opening near SoFi Stadium.

The new luxury cinema boasts 12 screens and 1,236 seats in a 55,137-square-foot facility.

The company says the Inglewood location will offer one of the world’s first dine-in IMAX experiences.

Moviegoers can catch the latest flicks on fully reclining leather seats while enjoying a meal from a “chef-driven menu showcasing house-made sauces, fresh ingredients, and gluten and vegan-friendly options.”

The menu features “house-made pizzas, flavorful tacos, sandwiches, gourmet burgers and customizable bowls and more,” the company said. Theatergoers can order their food with a push of a button from their seats.

Daily discounts are available on food, beverages and tickets including happy hour, half-price tickets every Tuesday, $6 bloody marys and mimosas on Sundays, and more.

The IMAX screen will boast IMAX with Laser, a 4K laser projection system that features a new optical engine, custom-designed lenses, and a suite of proprietary technology that delivers brighter images with increased resolution, deeper contrast, and the widest range of colors exclusively to IMAX screens.”

The company says the system is IMAX’s most advanced theater experience yet.

We look forward to welcoming Inglewood and greater Los Angeles to enjoy Cinepolis’ incredible entertainment experience and share in Stan Kroenke’s vision to turn Hollywood Park into a year-round destination for the community.”
