I’ve saw “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back – The Special Edition” here on 2/23/1997, in Auditorium #7, and “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” in 2D, in Auditorium #1 on 2/20/2012.
Here is a partial seatcount for the AMC Woodhaven 10:
1 – 274
2 – 204
3 – 179
5 – 215
6 – 205
8 – 148
9 – 144
I couldn’t get the counts for #4, #7 and #10
oh and to please note the original contributors descritpion, the Woodhaven and Franklin Mills complexes are a mile apart from one another. It’s not a walk through the woods to grandma’s , you need to walk across superhighways and some trecherous driving at the Franklin Mills Mall.
Happy to report that the AMC WoodHaven 10 now has movies in Real 3D
Folks beware seeing movies in Screen 6. In all of my years going to the Woodhaven, I don’t recall seeing a movie here.
Attended the 9:45am screening of “Inception” this morning, July 24, 2010. Trailers and bloody commercials sounded fine. However althroughout the movie, the left speaker was wonky. Finally during a crucial scene, it seemed as though the left side blew completely out. One disgusted patron stormed out. Myself and two other gentlemen all approached customer service with the issue.
We were graciously apologized to by the manager on duty, offered a free pass and opportunity to attend the 10:45 screening. By that time, due to the length of the movie, it would have wreaked havoc with my day.
I am sure the problem has been solved, but please beware if you attend any movie there.
The Woodhaven Mall 4 Cinemas, and the AMC Woodhaven 10 Theatre are, although 2 seperate buildings, one continuous operation.
AMC opened this theatre in 1973 as “Woodhaven Mall 4 Cinemas”, changed the name to AMC Woodhaven Mall 4 Theatre after they acquired the Leo Twin Theatre, the Bucks Mall Colonial Twin Theatre, and the Premiere Twin Theatre from Ramon Posel in 1980.
The AMC Woodhaven 10 uses the same original phone number that the Woodhaven Mall 4 Cinemas first used back in 1973.
The June 1999 Philadelphia Magazine rated the AMC Woodhaven 10 a “3.8” on a 1 to 5 scale with comment “Across the road from GCC Franklin Mills and just as nice.” (that’s now AMC Franklin Mills). Highest possible rating was achieved in the Seating category, and very high ratings for Cleanliness and Screen & Sound.
The Woodhaven Mall that has the AMC Woodhaven 10 Theatre, is now called Home Depot Plaza, and is located at the interseection of PA 63 (Woodhaven Road & Expressway) and US Route 13 (Bristol Pike), in Bensalem, PA. Less than a ¼ mile west from the Woodhaven Mall/Home Depot Plaza is Franklin Mills Mall, in Philadelphia, PA.
This mall opened in 1973 with Woolco, Woodhaven Mall 4 Cinemas, Gaudio’s Garden Center and Acme Super Saver Supermarket. Today, the Home Depot is on the site of the Woolco store, Babies R us is in the Gaudio’s building, and Acme Super Saver is just called Acme, and the Woodhaven Mall 4 became the AMC Woodhaven 10.
Hi –
Wasn’t the Woodhaven Mall what is now the Queens Center Mall? I don’t remember a theatre there, but I do remember a mall located at Woodhaven Blvd / Slattery Plaza subway stop, in the 1970’s. One of the department stores (I don’t remember which one) and the mall itself could be entered at the mezzanine level. The windows, remnants of which are still there, showed merchandise and a view of the basement level of whichever store it was.
As I recall, the mall itself was called “Slattery Plaza,” and I used to shop there when I was a college student at Pratt Institute, 1971-1975. I never, ever went outside, and never saw Queens Blvd. until I was working at the Elmhurst Jennifer Convertibles in 2005.
Comments /replies are welcome.

Actually, they are two different buildings. The Woodhaven 10 is a new , well built new.
The Woodhaven 4 does need to be listed here seperately. I’m going to start scouring the web for any information. It’s on my mind today, May 25th as its the 20th anniversary of it showing Star Wars.
If I am unable to locate any information , its hoped that someone who actually is involved with the company can go back and get some info about this legendary theatre where I spent alot of my youth.
Actually the Woodhaven 10 doesn’t have stadium seating, but for non-stadium its really nice. I much prefer it over franklin mills! Of course tho Neshaminy is the best imo.
The AMC Woodhaven 10 Theatre opened in 1973 as the Woodhaven Mall 4 Cinema. AMC Theatres acquired this theatre, along with Ramon Posel’s Leo Twin Theatre, Ramon Posel’s Bucks Mall Colonial twin Theatre, and Ramon Posel’s Premiere Twin Theatre, in early 1980. It was late 1995 when the current Woodhaven 10 opened.
