The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed another victim, as the Laemmle family, owners of the Playhouse 7 in Pasadena, have sold the property.

However, contrary to a report by another local news outlet, they are not closing anytime soon. They are currently leasing back the property from the new owner until renovation/construction begins.
Open into 2022
The Laemmle family stated on their website, “The Playhouse is currently open. We anticipate being open well into 2022. We hope you continue to purchase and enjoy our Gift Cards and Premiere Card. Premiere Card members receive significant discounts on box office tickets and concessions at all eight Laemmle locations and also be used on our Laemmle Virtual Cinema platform at watch.laemmle.com.
Negotiations and possible relocation
“Rest assured that even as we are negotiating to extend as long as possible at the Playhouse we are also working to identify possible replacement locations so that we can continue to offer the best in independent and foreign cinema to the amazing moviegoers of Pasadena and the surrounding communities.”
