TCL Chinese Theatre
About
The TCL Chinese Theatre, originally Grauman's Chinese Theatre, opened in 1927 in a Chinese-temple style and still screens films and hosts premieres. The forecourt has the handprints, footprints and signatures of hundreds of stars in cement, the most photographed spot on Hollywood Blvd. The forecourt is free; movies and tours cost extra.
Jasmine says
One of Hollywood's most recognizable film landmarks.
Jasmine’s notes
- Hollywood（Hollywood Blvd）A theater opened in 1927, with about 200 sets of celebrity handprints in the forecourt, free to see 24 hours a day, and a main house that can screen IMAX 70mm. Lots of Hollywood premieres happen here, and Euphoria season three came here too. One of the theaters on Hollywood Blvd that often hosts red-carpet premieres; big productions sometimes set up fan bleachers on the street, so keep an eye out if you want the premiere atmosphere.Order: Find the handprints in the forecourt by day, come back for IMAX at night; Nolan film screenings sell out weeks ahead. On weekday evenings with a premiere, get to the front of the barricade an hour or two early
