Alice FullerMay 12, 2010If you're at a movie premiere with free popcorn always chose from the top row! Popcorn on the bottom row has been out the longest so it's not the freshest! Read more

ELS Language CentersMay 7, 2012Located on the Historic Walk of Fame, this movie theater opened in 1927. Home to many movie premieres & 3 Academy Award presentations! See the famous Hollywood handprints!www.chinesetheatres.com
Carla JeanNovember 1, 2011I Saw The Last Samurai Playing Here!! It's An AMAZING Theatre For Opening Night Movies!! The Changing Movie Prop Displays & Hand & Foot Prints Are SO NEAT To See!!
It has an IMAX screen but when you sit in the second section, the screen feels a little small.
Chris CrowellMay 18, 2012Go later at night and there aren't as many people and you can get pictures of the stars floor tiles
Use the self serve kiosk near the IMAX entrance to buy tickets. Shorter line.
OnStarApril 19, 2011There are almost 200 celebrity handprints, footprints or signatures on the concrete in front of the theater. Among these are the foot (hoof?) prints of two famous Hollywood horses.
Jonathan MoraAugust 19, 2015Any action movie playing in this theater would be amazing. Second largest imax screen.
Geoff PikeJanuary 27, 2013Get in early. The place is fantastic, and well worth exploring before the film starts
Travis SmithMarch 28, 2013TCL Chinese Theatre, formerly Mann's Chinese Theatre, formerly Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Fact: The largest footprints there are from Tony the Wonder Horse.
Brianna BanalesOctober 28, 2013Not as magical as I hoped the entrance would be. Too many tour groups, vendors/ hawkers and knock-off street characters. Trash everywhere. Such a shame to see a Hollywood icon trashed like that.
Lori Rainey DowningJune 24, 2013Outside is under construction-but it was neat to be able to see the footprints-all of the Star Trek team is there!
Louis VelazquezApril 19, 2011I just love coming to this place, you can always find a superhero or two, a storm trooper and even Elmo roaming around the front, you gotta love Hollywood!!!
Efrosini-Maria FergadisNovember 6, 2015Amazing place and cool building in Hollywood with famous people.
The Marilyn Monroe Film Festival is great! Watch a week's worth of Marilyn classics on in the historic Chinese Theatre.
Travel + LeisureSeptember 21, 2012An L.A. classic: watch a film in style at Grauman’s, in Chinatown.
“Dune Pt II,” on the largest IMAX screen in the US, and one of the few 15/70 film IMAX screens left…
Rae CuencaApril 16, 2011Marilyn Monroe's cement hand & foot prints are to the left by the fountain if youre lookin straight on to the entrance of the theatre
