From the aerial photo, this looks like it opened with 12 screens and four more tacked on later on.
Hey, Dallasmovietheatres, UA Grand Prairie now has its own page at http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/49727
In spite of the fact that its name is Movies 16, this complex never had sixteen theatres. It currently has only 15.

Interesting. Photos on Google image search confirm that after the remodel the directional signs in the lobby say Theatres 1-9 that way, 10-15 that way. No mention of screen 16. You’d think Cinemark would stop calling it “Movies 16” and just call it Cinemark Grand Prairie now.
JHamm7 is right. This theater never had 16 screens despite being called Movies 16.
According to what a manager told me many, many years ago, expansion from 12 to 16 screens was well underway at the theater when someone noticed that the expansion plans failed to include restrooms in the new area. Because construction work was so far along by this point, it was cheaper for them to convert what would have been one of the new screens into the missing restrooms.
Since the Movies 16 signage had already been ordered, thus was born the Movies 16 theater that actually only has 15 screens.
Please update, the name is Cinemark Grand Prairie and on May 22, 1992 3 additional screens open. (No Grand Opening Ad)
