A Mormon missionary gets talked into becoming a porno film star in Trey Parker's "Orgazmo"
(October Films, 1998). When his film, also called "Orgazmo," becomes a big hit we get a montage of VHS tapes spilling off the assembly line and lines forming at adult theatres like this unidentified one.
It becomes a big crossover hit, taking in almost as much as "E.T." When it starts playing mainstream theatres we see it going up on the marquee at the Los Feliz Theatre, 1822 N. Vermont Ave. Thanks to Cinema Treasures contributor
Shoeshoe14 for spotting the theatre in the movie.
See the page about the Los Feliz Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the building. It's now operated by Vintage Cinemas.
On IMDb: "Orgazmo" The top image is one appearing on that site.
