Public space, local
What: REACTRIX interactive game pad where the image changes as users walk over the display. A projector is placed above, which controls the visuals seen below.
Where: Burbank AMC 16 Theater, Toys R Us, Tabu at the MGM Grand Motel, and Niketown in Chicago
Why it's fun: Reactrix is a darling device that drives users crazy. While it is largely used in an advertising capacity, it has potential to be used to explore stronger narrative and informational forms of content. As far as movie theaters, I can certainly see the potential for showing trailers, movie trivia and games.

coming up empty
So, I may have been too restrictive in my classification of current LA local public interactive media, but I didn't find anything.
But I did find some resources that should help in the future for finding this work:
