For local cinephiles, one favorite place to catch a film is certainly the Hollywood Theatre. Built in 1926, the Hollywood Theatre was originally a “1,500-seat silent movie palace complete with an 8-piece orchestra and organist.” Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places , the theater is one of the few in the US that shows films in 70mm format. Film buffs love old-school 70mm for providing a clearer, crisper image and better sound quality than the newer 35mm format most commonly used today. In fact, in 2015, world-renowned director Quentin Tarantino himself stopped by the Hollywood Theatre for a showing of his film “The Hateful Eight.” (To learn more about why people love 70mm, watch this video featuring Tarantino, Samuel L. Jackson, and the crew of “The Hateful Eight.”)

So, if you think the Hollywood Theatre seems like a special place, you’re right, and Arciform was thrilled to have a part in preserving the theater’s unique charm. Arciform replaced the previous aluminum entry system with gorgeous sapele mahogany doors that feature a continuous 16’ header and concealed motorized opening hardware. These custom-built doors were modeled after the 1926 originals, but provide ADA accessibility, energy efficiency, and increased safety.
