When Disney’s Pete’s Dragon opens on August 12th, it will also fly into the legendary El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California. The film will play there from August 12th through the 28th in Dolby Vision Laser Projection with Dolby Atmos sound. Additionally, guests can enjoy an exclusive display in the lower lounge that takes a look at several dragons from Disney history including films, TV show, and the parks. From Figment to Fantasmic and the Reluctant Dragon to Pete’s Dragon, El Capitan guests will see the history of these magical Disney Creatures.
“There is simply no better place than The El Capitan Theatre to thrill to the wonder of Pete’s Dragon” said James Wood, operations and stage productions for the El Capitan Theatre. “Not only will we present the movie in Dolby Vision laser projection along with Dolby Atmos audio technology, El Capitan guests will have the opportunity to discover the rich and magical history of Disney Dragons when they visit our captivating display in the lower lounge of The El Capitan Theatre.”
