Despite this robust history, I’m not aware of any local theaters specializing in Spanish-language programs today. Perhaps, as with English-language cinema, the Spanish-speaking audience is too large and spread out to warrant a specialty theater… or perhaps there is/are Spanish-language theaters that I don’t know of. It seems most likely that, as with all immigrant populations in the USA, the second generation is fluent in English and by and large more eager to watch Hollywood fare than films from their ancestral homelands.

CHINESE CINEMAS IN LOS ANGELES









331,246 of Los Angeles County residents speak a form of Chinese (Cantonese, Hokkien, Mandarin, etc) as their primary language. That’s roughly the same number as people as comprise the entire population of Honolulu. Los Angeles County was home to the first Chinese-American majority population of any city – Monterey Park. Nowadays the San Gabriel Valley has several Chinese and Taiwanese-plurality communities including Alhambra, Arcadia, Diamond Bar, East San Gabriel, Hacienda Heights, Rosemead, Rowland Heights, San Marino, South San Gabriel, Temple City, and Walnut.



In the past there were at least two theaters specializing in Chinese-language Cinema, both in the SGV: Alhambra’s Garfield Theater and Monterey Park’s Monterey Theatre. Neither currently show films and, sadly, I’m not aware of any Chinese theaters currently in operation in Los Angeles County. As with Spanish-language cinemas, I'd bet that this fact is due to American-born Chinese all being more comfortable with English and Hollywood than the languages (and films) of their parents and ancestors. There is, however, at least one multiplex that almost always has one Chinese-language film in their line-up at any given time, the AMC Atlantic Times Square 14, in Monterey Park's Atlantic Times Square mall/apartment complex (aka "The Asian-Americana").
