Netflix to Reopen Newly Renovated Egyptian Theatre With David Fincher’s ‘The Killer’

Wednesday marks the 101st anniversary of the opening of the iconic Egyptian Theatre. To celebrate the occasion, Netflix and the American Cinematheque announced they will reopen the theater on Nov. 9 with a screening of “The Killer” followed by a Q&A with director David Fincher.

The Egyptian Theatre is a classic and esteemed movie palace originally built in 1922 during the silent film era. A fixture in Hollywood’s Golden Age, the Egyptian was the site of the first Hollywood movie premiere, of “Robin Hood,” starring Douglas Fairbanks.

The long-awaited grand reopening comes three years after Netflix and the American Cinematheque partnered to restore the Egyptian Theatre. This one-of-a-kind venue is now ready to return as a must-visit landmark for local film lovers and visitors from around the world.

To mark the grand opening, Netflix is set to premiere a documentary short, “Temple of Film: 100 Years of the Egyptian Theatre,” on Nov. 9. Directed by Angus Wall, this film includes interviews with Guillermo Del Toro, Rian Johnson, Lynette Howell Taylor, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, and the mastermind behind the theatre’s restoration, architect Peyton Hall.

The upcoming 2023 programming for the theater includes:
