A Historic Movie Palace: 

• The landmark El Capitan Theatre is a lavish, fully restored historic movie theatre and event venue on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. 
• It opened in 1926 and today is best known for serving as a showcase (and premiere location) for major films from The Walt Disney Company. 
• The ornate Spanish Colonial Revival–style exterior was designed by Stiles O. Clements, while famed theatre architect G. Albert Lansburgh created the opulent East Indian–inspired interior. 
• After decades, the theater underwent a major, museum-quality restoration starting in 1989 led by Walt Disney Studios and Pacific Theatres. The theatre reopened in 1991 in near-original form with modern projection and sound technology, and has been closely associated with Disney film premieres ever since. 
• The theatre is a designated Los Angeles historic-cultural landmark and a contributing property in the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment National Register Historic District.
• Since its restoration, the affectionately called “El Cap” has become the primary Hollywood premiere venue for Walt Disney Studios motion pictures, often hosting red-carpet events and special screenings.
