AMC Marina Pacifica 12

Originally opened in 1984, as the Marina Pacifica 6, this AMC theatre underwent a $7 million renovation and opened on January 10, 1997, as the Marina Pacifica 12. The new stadium auditoriums were carved out of a section of the shopping center formerly occupied by a Marie Callender’s restaurant. Helping to premiere the theatre was Madonna’s version of “Evita”

The Long Beach Press-Telegram said that the six stadiums gave 1,154 more seats making a total of 2,686. They noted that the largest auditorium has 400 seats. The old non-stadium side of the complex, which is in a separate building from the stadiums, with the box office in between, also under went a remodeling. Both sides of the theatre offer separate main lobbies, concession, restroom, and projection facilities. The other theatre in the area is the UA Market Place 6, about a half of a mile away.

Actually, the space now occupied by the “newer” half of the complex was other shops and, for a wonderful time from the late 1970s to mid 1980s, an arcade. The Marie Callender’s was farther down at one of the ends of the shopping center, and is currently a Kamal Palace Cuisine of India restaurant.
