Located in the historic United Artists building in Downtown LA’s Fashion District, The United Theater on Broadway offers a film-friendly backdrop infused with timeless Hollywood style.

Opened in 1927 by Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and Douglas Fairbanks, the theater was built as the original home for film premieres. Its Spanish Gothic architecture, soaring arches, mythological murals, and rich plaster detailing create a setting unlike any other in Los Angeles.

Inside, the 1,647-seat theater features a vaulted ceiling studded with thousands of shimmering mirrors, stunning original red velvet chairs, and a functioning orchestra lift, allowing flexible staging for performance or scene variation. The adjacent three-story Grand Lobby stuns with hand-painted sandstone ceilings, ornate archways, and gilded detailing—perfect for cinematic entrances and high-impact visuals.

On the mezzanine level, a private lounge overlooks the entire theater, offering an intimate, elevated space for key scenes, VIP setups, or behind-the-scenes needs.

Whether you’re filming a feature, music video, commercial, or promo content, The United Theater combines historic character, versatile infrastructure, and an experienced team ready to support your production.
