Laemmle Theatres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laemmle (pronounced LEM-lee) Theatres is a group of family-run arthouse movie theaters in the Los Angeles area currently owned and operated by Robert Laemmle and his son Greg Laemmle.

In 1938, Robert Laemmle's father Max and uncle Kurt bought their first movie theater in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. (Carl Laemmle, the founder of Universal Pictures, was a second cousin to the two men.) The chain currently includes theaters throughout Southern California, many of which are known for exhibiting independent and foreign films.
