ArcLight Cinemas Hit the Beach

In a town that worships movies, Nora Dashwood (pictured) has it pretty good. As chief brand officer of ArcLight Cinemas, she gets to peddle the best moviegoing experience this side of Robert Evans’ Bel Air circuit screening room.

The fourth quadrant of Dashwood’s empire, ArcLight Beach Cities, officially opens next Friday, November 5th at El Segundo’s Continental Park, a sprawling retail-entertainment complex featuring five hotels, four shopping centers and various restaurants. The company has essentially gone in and gutted one of its own properties, but the name “The ArcLight Formerly Known as the Pacific Beach Cities All-Stadium 16” didn’t quite have the same ring to it.

The newest ArcLight location holds special significance for Dashwood, a long-time resident of neighboring Manhattan Beach.
