The suspect in the stabbing has been caught in Las Vegas. Police believe he may have been under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms during the stabbing.

this was the site of a stabbing that occured during a showing of a horror movie on the same night as the oscars.

The theatre had a “soft open” in December of 87'. I don’t believe the concession stand was completed until mid January of 88'. The expansion was in May of 97' (I was on the expansion management team).

And if I’m not mistaken, the two additional “large auditoriums” were opened prior to 1992. I saw “Father of the Bride” there in 1991.

The complex, especially when it was opened in 1987, was fairly uninspiring. It was similiar in decorative features to the AMC MainPlace which opened earlier that year. But in my opinion, the MainPlace theatres (especially the big 70mm houses) were nicer. I don’t know if I’d call the AMC Fullerton classic, but it was more of an improvement over AMC’s previous fare, like the Orange Mall 6.

Pacific Theatres was planning a large megaplex on the site of the old Anaheim Drive-In, just down the street and off the 91 Freeway. AMC had expanded their Fullerton complex to 20 screens, but I’m not clear on the exact year. The first time I visited the stadium side was for the engagement of “South Park.” But I think that Pacific backed out because of AMC’s presence within such a small radius. A Lowes Home Improvement store sits on the site of the old drive-in.
