Revival house

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Repertory cinema)

A revival house, rep house, or repertory cinema is a cinema that specializes in showing classic or notable older films (as opposed to first run films). Such venues may include standard repertory cinemas, multi-function theatres that alternate between old movies and live events, and some first-run theatres that show past favorites alongside current independent films.

History[edit]

Former theaters that repeatedly showed old films, changing the titles offered daily, include the UC Theater in Berkeley, the Scala Theatre#Cinema (1976–1980), Scala Tottenham Street, and Scala (club) Pentonville Road, in London, and the Landmark Theatres chain in Los Angeles.[citation needed]
