tourist flock the entrance to the historic hollyood mecca, the grauman's chinese theatre.

the grauman's chinese theatre is a world-famous movie theatre located at 6925 hollywood boulevard in hollywood, LA, California of the united states of america. built in 1927 by a partnership headed by Sid Grauman, the Chinese was intended to be the world's greatest. it has since become one of southern california's most recognizable and visited landmarks and is steeped in hollywood history, having been home to numerous premieres and two academy awards ceremonies. among the theatre's most famous traits are the authographed cement blocks that reside in the forecourt, which bears the signatures and markings of many of hollyuwood's most revered stars and starlets.

from 1973 through 2001, the theater was known as Mann's Chinese Theatre, owing to its acquisition by Mann theatres in 1973. in the wake of Mann's bankruptcy, the Chinese, along with the other Mann properties, was sold in 2000 to a partnership comprising Warner Bros. and Paramoount Pictures, who acquired the Mann brand name. in 2002 the original name was restored to the cinema palace.
