The AMC Neshaminy 24 Theatres opened in September 1998 at the Neshaminy Mall in the Philadelphia suburbs as one of two theatres with this design, the other being in Spain. Costing $11 million to construct, when it opened it was the largest multiplex movie theatre in Pennsylvania.
This state of the art megaplex has 24 stadium seating theaters with digital surround sound. At the main entry to the mall, are the four largest auditoriums. Originally auditoriums 1 and 24 had about 600 seats and 61 feet wide screens. Auditorium 1 was redone and reopened in August 2008 as a digital IMAX theatre with 529 seats. Auditoriums 2 and 23 have about 400 seats and huge screens. Auditoriums 7 thru 18have fairly large screens. The smallest auditoriums, with about 100 or fewer seats are 3 to 6 and 19 to 22. In 2007, the theatre’s first digital projection arrived for the movie “Zodiac”. As of April 2011, about half the auditoriums had been converted to digital projection.
3 concession stands serve patrons, as the two Metros are located by auditoriums # 1, 2, 23 and 24, and the Uptown is located by auditoriums 7 to 18. When all three concession stands are open, they can serve 2,500 people an hour. This theater replaced a previous AMC Theatre in the mall, the AMC Premier Twin Theatre, which was closed in around 1992/1993. The nearest movie theatres are at Oxford Valley and Franklin Mills.
This theater has been voted by the people of Bucks county (via the Bucks County Courier Times) to be the best theater in the county from 1999 thru 2005. It has been one of the most busiest and profitable movie theatres in the nation since it opened.

Today, at AMC Neshaminy 24, they are installing a third digital projector. This is one of the new Sony 4K projectors. This, along with the Christie projector, and the Digital IMAX, will make moviegoing even better.
I’ve seen two “IMAX” films at Neshaminy, Transformers II and Avatar in IMAX 3D. I know that the Digital IMAX format has come under fire as a rip-off. However, after seeing it twice I look at it a little differently. First of all, it’s not real IMAX and the screen is only about 15% larger than before the IMAX conversion. What is impressive is the superb sound and clarity and sharp focus of the digital projection. The reality is, true IMAX wasn’t meant for regular theatrical films. If anybody has seen IMAX at both the Neshaminy and the UA King of Prussia (which has real 70mm IMAX) I’d love to know how they compared. I have heard horror stories of 2.35 films cropped to 1.85 for 70mm IMAX showings.
Not good at all. I actually had to stop family members from attending showings at Neshaminy as (in my opinion) there is no comparison between the quality of the “real” IMAX at King of Prussia and also the “IMAX” being offered at Neshaminy.
We have a Regal 20 plex here in AUgusta that advertises itself as an IMAX theatre,but locals that have seen films there say iT IS NOT IMAX.Why do they let themselves sell IMAX when some of the moviegoers that see films there say it is not IMAX ?
Fire last night (Sept 24th) in the light fixture at the Neshaminy 24 theatres. The fire was reported at 10pm, reported under control at 10:15pm, no injuries reported.

It was actually the neon light fixture in the “Neshaminy Mall 6” sign. That sign belongs to Neshaminy Mall, and not to the theatre.
