Cinelounge Sunset

6464 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028 | map |

 
Opened: April 2017 as the Arena Cinelounge Sunset. It's a venue for independent films operated by Christian Meoli. The space is off the lobby in an office building on the southwest corner of Sunset and Wilcox. That's three and a half blocks west of the Cinerama Dome. Photo: Bill Counter - January 2024

The Sunset operation is an offshoot of the Arena Cinema established earlier at the Arena Stage on Las Palmas, the building formerly housing the Egyptian 2 & 3.

The Hollywood Times had an April 2017 story about the opening of the Sunset and Santa Monica locations. Meoli is also involved in programming film events at the Montalban Theatre using the Arena Cinelounge brand.

Seating: 48

Status: This location appears to be thriving. Operation has been discontinued at the other two sites. For more information on those see the pages on the Egyptian 2 & 3 / Arena Stage and the Arena Cinelounge Santa Monica.
