READING INTERNATIONAL, INC. 
SAN DIEGO (May 12, 2015) -‐ The Angelika Film Center & Cafe, a state‐of-the‐art boutique cinema, today announced a new theater at Carmel Mountain Plaza in San Diego. Scheduled to open late summer of 2015, this will be the first Angelika on the West Coast.
The Angelika Film Center will be dedicated to offering its guests provocative and engaging film programming - from independent, foreign and specialty film to the best commercial film from the major studios - all in a luxurious, state‐of‐the‐art theatrical environment. Located along the I‐15 corridor at Carmel Mountain Road in San Diego's North County, the Angelika will be a perfect addition to the vibrant open-‐air shopping and dining experience at Carmel Mountain Plaza.
A cultural institution in New York City since 1989, the original Angelika Film Center is one of the most successful arthouses in North America and has generated record box office grosses for movies including Midnight in Paris, The Artist and Birdman. For more than ten years devoted moviegoers have also enjoyed Angelika cinemas in the Dallas area and more recently, in Fairfax, VA and Washington, D.C.
Each of the elegantly appointed 12 auditoriums at the new Angelika will feature full VIP luxury recliner seats in a stadium setting, expansive wall‐to-‐wall screens and pristine digital projection by Barco, the leader in digital cinema technology, providing Angelika guests not only the most luxurious comfort, but also the latest in cinematic presentation. Fred Dagdagan, a Los Angeles based designer of premier screening rooms for major Hollywood studios, has designed a sleek and modern cinema, which will include signature Angelika elements such as a striking three‐tiered crystal chandelier accented in blue neon and a dramatic illuminated rendering of the Angelika logo. The lobby, mezzanine lounge and lush outdoor patio have been designed to provide a sophisticated environment for San Diego filmgoers to enjoy before and after their film.
Before, during or after their film, guests will be offered a menu of craft beverages and bites curated by veteran Food Network executive Bruce Seidel and veteran Food Network chef Santos Loo, both currently with Hot Lemon Productions. Each dish can be paired with a craft beer or select wine. The Angelika will also feature classic concessions, some of which are enhanced with Seidel and Loo's creative twists.
The new Angelika will offer a venue for the culturally rich San Diego community to experience not only a range of quality film, but also specially tailored film-based events, panels and unique cinematic programs. By providing opportunities to connect with the films and each other, the Angelika Film Center at Carmel Mountain will aim to support a creative community of filmmakers, artists and film enthusiasts. In addition to the well-‐appointed auditoriums providing elegance for filmgoers, with customizable lighting andsound options plus a range of digital presentation formats they will also be utilized to make impactful presentations for corporate meetings and private events arranged through the dedicated in‐house events manager.
