The ArcLight Hollywood is a 14-screen multiplex located at 6360 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. All 14 screens feature stadium seating, and carry a THX certification for optimal sound and picture presentation. The building is located adjacent to the Cinerama Dome, which is now part of the ArcLight complex. The theater opened March 22, 2002 and is a subsidiary of The Decurion Corporation, which also owns Pacific Theatres.
The ArcLight Hollywood was the first theatre in the ArcLight chain to open, and is considered to be the company's flagship.
ArcLight Hollywood provides numerous amenities to its customers. Each theater has reserved seating. The only promotional material shown before showtimes are trailers.
At showtime, immediately before the trailers begin, an Usher Greeter introduces the film to the audience and states the ArcLight's policies regarding quality assurance, i.e. two ushers will remain in the theater until a few minutes after the film has begun, to ensure that the picture and sound quality are acceptable. They also inform the audience to turn their cellphones to the silent function, and to refrain from texting. Five minutes after the scheduled start time of a film has elapsed, further seating is prohibited, reducing interruptions.
As of September 2011, all ArcLight locations show digital presentations of their features. Each location has two houses with Kinoton 35mm projectors for archival and special presentations.
In addition to special event screenings, the ArcLight regularly holds "21+" screenings in which patrons must be 21 years old or older to be admitted and patrons may consume alcoholic beverages purchased from the theater's bar. The ArcLight routinely features exhibits of local art or props and costumes from current films.
Tickets for all movie showings feature assigned seating. Upon purchasing a ticket, customers are allowed to select their preferred seat and see which seats have already been reserved. The only restriction is the inability to select a seat if it creates a single seat space between an already reserved seat. This is to prevent orphan empty seats which could only be filled by a single individual.
