This theatre opened in 1985 with the stars of "The Boy Who Could Fly" in attendance. It was dealt a terrible blow in more ways than one when Hurricane Andrew almost demolished it in 1992. AMC managed to reopen it after almost two years. It closed again in 2006.

This opened on July 19th, 1985. No grand opening appeared in the newspaper.

Rivest, I was one the assistant managers at this opening. AMC would have advertised the opening only in The Miami Herald and, like many distributors, did not take advantage of the combined rate that included The Miami News.

I noticed that many theatres stopped placing ads in later years in the News. Its circulation must had been slipping by the time the South Dade opened.

It was only an evening paper with an older demographic by then.
