The Woodhaven Mall itself is no more, and AMC has turned the site into a ten-screen multiplex which opened November 3, 1995. Practically within walking distance to AMC’s Franklin Mills theater, the Woodhaven is your standard B+ effort from AMC: Stadium seating, solid projection, passable theater size. It’s no Neshaminy, but it’s certainly no AMC Orleans, either…

The AMC Woodhaven 10 is in the process of receiving recliners and is slated to receive a “MacGuffin’s” bar
February 28th, 1973 and November 10th, 1995 grand opening ads in the photo section.
From what I can gather from old pictures, the AMC Woodhaven 4 was a in the space that is now the Pet Store right next to, and butting up to Home Depot. The AMC 10 appears to be an altogether new build, separate from the 4-plex.
So helpful of a response.
Check out the pictures of the 4-plex at Cinematour — in a totally different spot than the 10-plex.

And then if you go check Google Earth/Historic Aerials you’ll see that the corner of the shopping center where the current 10-plex is was not there prior to 1995.
So I’m going to go with YEP.
Recollection and memories vs. a photo of the 4-plex being at the other end of the shopping center than the current 10-plex.
Whatever keeps you warm.
Was at the Woodhaven 10 last night for the first time since the re-model. The recliners are nice and new screens were installed in all the auditoriums, sound and projection were very good and the theater has a nice new shiny clean look and feel to it but….no more movable screen masking. You can actually see the rounded corners of the screens. 8 out of the 10 auditoriums have 2.39 to 1 screens while 2 have 1.85 to 1 screens. The ‘scope films that were being shown on those screens 1.85 to 1 screens, while being projected in the proper aspect ratio really looked crappy and like a giant letterboxed TV without even top masking. They can get away with that with Digital IMAX because the bars above and below the frame are actually black but for regular digital project it is just funky old blank screen. Bad choice AMC.
Saw “A Complete Unknown” at Woodhaven in Auditorium #9 (before recliners about 140 seats / reduced to around 62 seats w/ recliners) and was very impressed with the new 4K Laser Projection. Big upgrade over the Xenon Digital Projection. Really bright picture w/ excellent contrast and detail. The Digital Surround Sound was also quite good. Auditorium #9 (and #8) are my favorite smaller rooms out of all the theaters in the area. Both auditoriums are almost as wide as they are long and have really nice sized 2.39 to 1 ‘scope screens which makes it feel like a much larger theater. My only complaint is they no longer have side masking (which is not a problem for 2.39 to 1 'scope films) but IMO makes for a lesser viewing experience for 1.85 to 1 films.
The original Woodhaven 4 closed around the same time as the Woodhaven 10’s opening.
Please update, theatre open on November 3, 1995 with a soft opening, grand opening ad in photos section also remove the first paragraph about AMC Woodhaven 4, created it’s own page on Cinema Treasures.
