According to Landmark Theatres' President Ken Holloway, the theatres' lease is expiring at the end of the month and new terms were not reached with the property owner.

"For months, we've worked to extend our tenancy of The Landmark Pico but have been unable to reach terms. We send our deepest appreciation to the Pico staff, guests, and the filmmaking community for their support over the years," said Landmark Theatres' President Ken Holloway.

"We're exploring opportunities to expand our Los Angeles footprint, which we hope to be able to share more on soon," Holloway added.

The theater is Landmark's westside flagship location. Landmark's other Los Angeles locations will remain open.
