Opened in 1926 as a vaudeville and silent film palace, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has become a beloved cultural institution.

Today, it operates as a community-focused cinema, renowned for its diverse programming, classic film restorations, and its status as the only theater in Oregon equipped for 70mm projection. The Hollywood Theatre stands as a testament to the enduring magic of the movie-going experience, located at 4122 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR.
