Built by the same man who erected the Chinese Theatre and El Capitan Theatre, the Egyptian was faithfully restored by the American Cinematheque in 1998 (who also run the Aero in Santa Monica). The not-for-profit company continues to deliver a wide range of excellent themed mini-festivals and one-off Q&As with legendary figures, as well as classic films and contemporary indie cinema—even though the actual building is now owned by Netflix (the streamer, which oversaw a three-year restoration project, uses the space for premieres and special events on weekdays while the American Cinematheque programs weekends).
