A Yelp reviewer noted that the theater in Monrovia was handing out posters for "Toy Story 5," which comes out in June.

Look Dine-In Cinemas closed its multiplexes in Redlands, Downey and Monrovia, leaving customers with gift cards and subscription memberships unsettled. Patrons arriving for matinees witnessed theaters beginning to shut down and posted experiences on social media. Moviegoers reported staff handing out promotional posters, boxes loaded for removal, and removal of a photo tribute to longtime greeter Al Harris. Signs on doors thanked patrons and directed them to the chain's only remaining California theater in Glendale; a few East Coast locations remain open. The chain offers full-service dining, bartender-served cocktails, recliner seats, and QR-code ordering with server delivery. The theaters were acquired after the 2020 COVID shutdown by Brian Schultz, with Redlands reopening in July 2021; a Riverside makeover project was never completed.
