Well, no more readerboard outside with the titles. Or outside boxoffice. The entrance on the Promenade was revamped in 2022. Thanks to Sarah Feldsted for this July photo showing the new look.

The Santa Monica 7 in the Movies: 

Simon McBurney and a new friend see a show at the Santa Monica 7 in "Friends With Money" (Sony Pictures Classics, 2006). Note the plug for AMC in the lower left. 

 

When McBurney and friend exit the theatre we get a reflection in the boxoffice glass of the Criterion Theatre across the street. The film, written and directed by Nicole Holofcener, also stars Frances McDormand, Jennifer Anniston, Katherine Keener, Joan Cusak, Jason Isaacs, Timm Sharp and Greg Germann. The cinematography was by Terry Stacey.
