For more than five years, the Cinerama Dome has stood dark on Hollywood Boulevard — a geodesic monument to the belief that cinema is not merely content but ceremony. Now Sony Pictures Entertainment and Alamo Drafthouse have announced its restoration and 2028 reopening, choosing preservation over reinvention in a moment when the movie theater industry is still reckoning with what it is and who it serves. The decision to revive a 1963 landmark rather than replace it suggests that cultural memory, not just technology, may be part of what draws audiences back to the dark.
