After 18 years in downtown Claremont, Laemmle Theatres will soon be closing the doors to our beloved Claremont 5 location.
This decision did not come easily. The Claremont 5 has been a meaningful part of our company’s history and, more importantly, of a community that showed up again and again for independent, foreign, and specialty films.
When the Claremont 5 first opened in 2007 as part of the city’s expanded downtown, our goal was simple: to create a home for movies that might not otherwise have a screen in the Inland Empire. Over the years, this theater has become a gathering place for cinephiles, students, families, and neighbors who valued discovery, conversation, and the shared experience of watching films together.
