In 1964 the Andorra Theatre was opened by the William Goldman Theatre Co. In 1973 the William Goldman Theatre Co. was sold to Budco Theatres Co.

In late 1976, Budco twinned the Andorra. In 1984, Budco added two more screens, making it a four-plex theater. In 1985, Budco added two more screens, making the Andorra a six-plex.

In mid 1986, American Multi-Cinema Inc. (AMC Theatres) acquired the Budco Theatres chain, adding the Andorra 6, as well as the Orleans 8, the 309 Cinema 4/9 and The Cheltenham Twin. In mid 1990, AMC added two more screens, making it an eight-plex.

Due to it's location (and being less than three miles away from the nearby AMC (former General Cinema) Plymouth Meeting 12 Theatres), the AMC Andorra closed it's doors for good on January 5, 2003. It has since been demolished, and a health club was built on the site.

An architect's rendering of the proposed Andorra Theatre was published with a brief article about the house in the April 6, 1964, issue of Boxoffice Magazine. It was slated for a summer opening that year. Architects were the firm of Supowitz & Demchick (David Supowitz, Israel Demchick.) In its original, single-screen configuration, there were 1000 seats.
