if anything it should get upgraded to Dolby Cinema. Apparently Dolby requires the recliners now for there PLF spec as the seats have a link to the sound system. https://www.amctheatres.com/dolby

The major upgrade is to make it ADA certified as the bathrooms are up a staircase with no lift. if there lucky they have the space to upgrade it to Dine-in other wise it might get stuck on the low traffic Classic brand.

it was part of the current CEO of AMC Entertainment plans to get every theater they run signed under one of 3 brands AMC, AMC Classic, and AMC Dine-in. Apparently no one thought to check if the community liked the old sign before requesting to replace it with the AMC logo text. looking at the size it might get rebranded to the Classic sub brand for smaller theaters in low traffic markets. they should have just stuck to replacing the street level signs.

BigD was recently renamed “BigD at AMC” to match there other PLF formats. they might switch some of them to Dolby or IMAX when they come up for upgrades.

it’s new official name is “Universal Cinema an AMC Theatre” according to it’s official yelp page. https://www.yelp.com/biz/universal-cinema-an-amc-theatre-universal-city But AMC’s internal systems including the website still use the AMC Citywalk 19 name.

This theater opened with separate Box Office booth’s inside the vestibule but a later renovation by Carmike removed the box office and customer service desk and combined them with the Concession stand. The old external box office shells were converted to flat windows with signs telling guests where to buy tickets.

https://www.amctheatres.com/movie-theatres/san-francisco/amc-dine-in-kabuki-8 the DOJ trade off already happened they spun off the few that had to go so it’s back as a AMC. it also marked as a “Dine-In Express Pick-up” location so they have the full dine-in menu but you order it and pick it up at the booth and carry it in to the theater. the table may have to wait for a full renovation of the auditorums to add tables.
