This was the standard design of just about every eightplex AMC built during the 1980s. from The Northlake 8 in Tucker, GA was identical to the Fashion Village.
I also remember this theater from having been used as a shooting location in the movie “Parenthood” with Steve Martin. Shortly after I moved to the Orlando area in 1998, I won free tickets on the radio for an advance showing of “The Mummy” that we saw in this theater. It was a very typical boxy multiplex, but the type that I saw SO many great movies in in the 80’s and 90’s. Despite it’s “grit” so to speak and lack of character, theaters that I used to go to of this type have special memories for me.
This was a typical 1980s multiplex. I’ve never been inside, but the building is now the “Summit Church”. Recently, the interior was renovated, and I did a bit of dumpster diving. Rows of theater seats were in there, but nothing worth taking. It was all rather waterlogged from rain, and they were not handled gently, there were lots of dents and bends. In retrospect though, I regret not snagging a row.
The theatre scene from Parenthood was filmed in the lobby of the Fashion Village 8
