AMC Fashion Valley 18

This is an eighteen-screen theatre built to take the place of the Fashion Valley 4 that was located in the same mall but in another location (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures). The AMC Fashion Valley 18 was opened on May 22, 1998. It has two levels of theatres and two levels of projection booths. I was opening Projection Manager at this location.

There were ten Christie projectors with three level Christie platters on the top level and eight Christie projectors on the lower level. All had SDDS with two mobile Dolby Digital readers. Small intimate theatres with the smallest being just under a hundred seats.

DISCLAIMER I DONT REPRESENT AMC IN ANY OFFICIAL WAY I ONLY WORK THERE BUT I AM NOT A REPRESENTITIVE OF ANY OFFICIAL WORD OR ANY SAYING I JUST HAVE MY PIECE. DISCLAIMER

ok, well I currently work at this particular AMC so I can confirm that just this very day we finished upgrading the largest house we have (the #1 if your looking for the records) and its inaguration was at 12:01 am as we presented our very first 3D film ever (Ice Age Dawn of the dinosaurs). The progector is a sony 4K which is currently the best of the best there is in digital progector technology.

This theatre looks like it won’t have a chance for Dolby cinema but It could get AMC Prime

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.

TYoung AMC Prime was made for smaller theatres that could not support an IMAX or Dolby Cinema and this is one of them.
