Revival house

A revival house, rep house, or repertory cinema is a cinema that specializes in showing classic or notable older films (as opposed to first run films). Such venues may include standard repertory cinemas, multi-function theatres that alternate between old movies and live events, and some first-run theatres that show past favorites alongside current independent films.

History

Former theaters that repeatedly showed old films, changing the titles offered daily, include the UC Theater in Berkeley, CA, the Scala Cinema, Scala Tottenham Street, and Scala Nightclub, Pentonville Road, in London, and the Landmark Theatres chain in Los Angeles.^{[citation needed]}
