It should be noted that AMC purchased the Alamo IMAX at the other end of the mall. AMC includes the IMAX in the name and ticketing on the website, but they are two separate facilities. AMC did not add an IMAX to the existing location like AMC traditionally does in its theatres.
Just to point out the lease is up in 2021 but it most likely will close then. The mall is officially closed and is only “open” for access to the theatre. The anchor buildings have all been demolished and to progress with the Dallas Midtown project the rest will need to come down too.
There is a 20 screen Cinemark across the highway. I wonder if they will close that location once this one reopens. The mall it was attached to has closed. Because of that I doubt it’s due to anti trust as the Disney location is far enough away that it does not compete directly.
Regal also cut one wing of Cantera 30 after the bought it from the AMC-Kreasotes merger. I recently found out that AMC also cut the last 6 screens (25-30 wing) from South Barrington 30 after it went through its renovation.
The other locations were Palm Promenade 24, Covina 30, Deer Valley 30, Mesa Grand 24, and Interchange 30. Interchange dropped to 13 and has since closed altogether.
@jaye123 It’s one of AMC’s standard 24 screen theatres built in the 90’s. The way they placed the auditorium entrances is how you get #24 in the main lobby. From the pictures your looking at it looks like #’s 14-23 we’re closed as that hallway is blocked for that wing.
The largest house only has like 190 seats. This theatre would not get anything more than what it already has. No recliners either. They have 18 screens with a total of 1900 seats. It does more than enough business for its small seat count.
Jeffpiatt. Yes upgraded and new locations are now handled by the lcd screens in the box office. I was just pointing out that some locations like AMC and Regal on 42nd st in NYC, AMC Universal Hollywood, and the Alamo Drafthouse in Kansas City do have a digital marquee in front of the building. Remenicent of the old marquees that are being replaced.
CTCrouch is right. Showtimes variy daily now major releases will have more time on weekends with lesser films haveing fewer. Additionally with reserve seating now becoming the norm searching showtime online and via smart phones is the primary means for people to find the movie they want to see. This leave an externally small number of people actually show up at a movie theatre not knowing what to watch. The need for a marque to advertise a movie at a particular is no longer nessisary. On the other had, a small of locations are getting digital marquees that will advertise a particular movie but not the time.
Actually that’s standard AMC practice to reduce operating hours during off peak season on low volume theatres. No reason to operate for a hand full of people until the winter and summer holidays. They will expand again.
AMC will be reacquiring and reopening this location. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/amc-merger-take-over-carmike-theaters-1234752346/

DOJ has approved AMC to reacquire this location due to a legal dispute with the landlord after New Vision liquidated.
This is now a 14 plex one screen was removed during the renovation so they could make the XD house.

It opened as Emporium after they closed Target moved in. After they relocated AMC built their building inside the shell.

I should also note that they closed the 10 screens back in 2012 as part of 6 locations AMC closed wings due to lower attendance.

They will be converting one of their current auditoriums into the IMAX screen. No new auditorium will be added.
As of today AMC Lowes Cityplace 14 has closed. It is to be demolished to make way for an apartment and retail complex.
As of today 1/7/2008 Sundance 11 is closed indefinitely.
This theatre actually has 3300 seats.
