The Laemmle Claremont 5 in Claremont, California has been sold to a new owner.

Located on North Indian Hill Boulevard and West 1st Street, the movie theater has been operated by Laemmle Theatres since it opened in 2007. The news was announced recently on the company's website:

It is with a sense of reflective pride that we announce the sale of the Laemmle Claremont property to a new owner. Proud of all the wonderful independent, and award-winning films that we have brought to The City of Trees and PhDs since our opening in 2007. And proud to report that the new owner intends to continue operating a movie theater at this location, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for this venue.

“Of all the possible outcomes, we feel that this is truly the best option for Laemmle, the new owner, and the community,” according to Laemmle President Greg Laemmle. “It’s an overused term, but in this case, this really is a win-win situation.”

The announcement mentions that Laemmle will continue to operate the theater after the sale, which will happen by the end of January 2026. Guests will be able to continue using their Premiere Card balances, gift certificates, and Frequent Moviegoer Vouchers "to see year end releases like Wicked: For Good, Zootopia 2, Hamnet, Eternity, Song Sung Blue, and Marty Supreme at the theater." Whether that means that those items will continue to be accepted post-sale is unclear.

Laemmle currently operates seven movie theaters in California and Regency Theatres has 18 locations in California, Arizona, and Hawaii. Regency's closest location to Claremont is the Regency Foothill Cinema Stadium 10 in Azusa.
