History

The Holly Cinema was a theater located on Hollywood Blvd in the heart of "Tinsel-Town." It was essentially a second-run theater, where films went after they had been playing for a while, but still in circulation (something common for the time.) The Rocky Horror Picture Show began playing there on March 20, 1976 when it left the UA Cinema Center in Westwood for a 6 month period. While at the Holly, there were Midnight screenings each and every Saturday, along with the regular 5 times a day rotation. The film remained at the Holly until October, when it returned to the UA Westwood as well as several other theaters in Los Angeles.
