Save for the line at the concession (which is unavoidable because everyone shows up at the same time), it was another thoroughly enjoyable visit to the Hollywood. We found a paid parking lot about a block from the theater ($7.70 for 8 hours, obviously more than we needed to watch the 2-hour documentary "Elemental," but there were no options, and 7 bucks is pretty cheap for in-town parking, so what the hell). Admission was easy with the QR codes on my phone (I prepaid our tickets, and they sent the QR codes via email). Seats are new and very comfortable. Concession is actually reasonably priced, and the pizza and popcorn are very good. Beverages are heavy on kombucha-like fare, and they have an "athletic beer" for all you ripped cinephiles watching the cals along with the films. I had an Oregon Berry Tea made from some used tea bags and 3 shriveled old blackberries they threw in for good measure? And then there was the movie: the documentary "Elemental." Highly recommended if you want to learn a little (or maybe a lot) about wildfires and the nature/climate they evolve out of, and the hazards of living with them and through them. This will be an issue for you if you continue to live in Oregon. Perspectives include experienced firefighters, and survivors of the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, CA., and the 2020 wildfires in Oregon's summer of flame and smoke; also research scientists who over the last 25 years have made important discoveries about the relative value of forests (old growth vs. regrowth), and how NOT to manage wildfire risk (i.e. the way we've been doing it for decades). And perhaps most importantly, the ancient knowledge of Native Americans (in this case, the Yurok people of northern California), who for centuries before European usurpation of the continent, used fire deliberately and effectively as a tool to cultivate and regenerate their lands. Fire to them was not a disastrous hazard to be eliminated at all costs, it was a natural phenomena that could be carefully exploited for widespread, beneficial results. Whole different attitude...

Amazing! Visiting from out of town. Caught a movie here with the family. Love this theater. Folks working here were very kind. Good beer selection and great popcorn. If I lived here I would absolutely volunteer. Would highly recommend. Thanks to everyone that volunteers and supports this place!

Such a gorgeous theater. We were here for the PFHH and had a great time. The popcorn is some of the best theater popcorn I have ever had! They also serve booze which is super rad. Concessions are quite decently priced compared to your average chain theater. I found myself going back a few times because of how affordable a lot of it was. The slices they serve through the pie hole from Sizzle Pie are giant and delicious as well! The theater rooms are gorgeous and spacious. The arms on the seats could use a little cushion, but otherwise the rest of the seat was cozy (but 4 hours with the arm rests were a bit of a pain). I’d definitely come back to this theater if I’m in town again.

This is one of my favorite spots in Portland. I love the festivals, the unique movies shown, and the amazing special programs offered to the community. Such a great asset to our community.

Questions & Answers

Do we need reservations for Paint your Wagon?

Annette Prindel | Aug 17, 2018
Dean Hanson | Aug 17, 2018

You don't need them, but I'd recommens buying tickets in advance! Some screenings end up selling out fast in advance, and this could be one of them.

Can you buy tickets at the Box office

Steven Neal | Aug 16, 2021
Sam Schrader | Aug 16, 2021

Yes, technically, but if it's a new release or special event, I would not bet on it. Most of the time these showings sell out before the box office even opens. If it's a late showing and/or a film that's already been showing for a little while, then you're probably going to be able to buy your tickets at the box office.

Will I be able to buy tickets for the early showing of Little Women on 12/25? Is it suggested?

How come they’re not showing it in Vancouver Washington?

Eliza Garrison | Aug 17, 2019
Corinne La Fors | Aug 17, 2019

Without knowing the movie you are talking about I can only give you general info. It could be licensing expenses or rights. No one thought or had interest to show it in Vancouver.

Their website doesn't show any programming for today (July 4th). That probably means they are closed for the holiday.

How long will "3 billboards ..." be at the Hollywood?

Linda Somner | Aug 17, 2018
matthew combs | Aug 17, 2018

Many films like this at the Hollywood will play for a period of time dependant on attendance. If a lot of people are going, they will try to keep the film for subsequent weeks, however if nobody is going to see it, then they will release it in favor of another film that may draw better attendance. So go see it there while it's available, I've seen many people who have missed out because they waited to see a film later only to have it leave the theatre. My response is based on having worked at the Hollywood for many years. It's a wonderful place to see a film, and a great local non-profit as well.

What time does your box office open?

Vern Toedtli | Aug 17, 2018
