Guild 45th Theatre

2 Screens. Built in 1919. Operated by Landmark since 1989. Located in the Wallingford neighborhood, the Guild 45th Theatre is situated just west of Seattle's University District. Originally a live stage venue named the Paramount Theatre in the 1920s, it later changed its moniker when a movie palace downtown laid claim to the same name. In 1980, the Guild launched The Stunt Man, starring Peter O'Toole and Barbara Hershey, into national prominence with a record-breaking 43 week run. Francis Ford Coppola has often chosen the Guild for test audience screenings.

A second detached auditorium, the Guild 45th II opened in 1983, two doors down, with a cozy restaurant between the theatres. This auditorium has comfy, stadium-style seating, perfect sight lines and a wall-to-wall screen, and is often voted a favorite amongst Seattle moviegoers. Both Guild I and II are 70mm capable and feature Dolby Digital EX sound.

Parking is available on surrounding neighborhood streets and in nearby pay lots.

Sound Systems: Dolby Surround EX - Dolby Digital - Dolby SR - Dolby Stereo
