Setting up for another movie premiere at the restored El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard – Disney's flagship theater – High School Musical III is closing and Bolt will premiere late in the afternoon, with the red carpet and lights and all. Orson Wells premiered Citizen Cane here. Bolt is an animated dog.
