The Crestwood Plaza 10 originally opened with five screens. Five more were added when the mall went through a remodel. The back side of the Dillards Department Store (Stix, Baer & Fuller) was closed off and the new theaters were added there.
The entrance to the theaters are very convenient as they are located in the back of the mall and there is an entrance right there. You walk up the stairway to the lobby which is done in earth tones and iridescent lighting but very impressive. The new auditoriums have stadium seating but the older ones have staggered rows so the site lines are still great. All of the auditoriums have stereo sound. This is a very comfortable theatre all around. A big plus for AMC.

I’ve been hearing rumors that AMC wants to pull out now that this mall is virtually gone. I’m in agreement and I think it’s only a matter of time…
Even though the Crestwood Plaza 5 and the Crestwood Plaza 10 were in the same shopping mall, they were two, physically, seperate theatre complexes.
The closure of the Crestwood Plaza 5 and the opening of the Crestwood Plaza 10 occurred in May 1992.
As of today, Crestwood Court (the current name of the mall complex) is virtually a ghost town. I think the only chain department store left in the mall is Sears, all the others pulled out a long time ago. And almost all of the franchise chain stores in the mall have closed. I was last inside the mall in December 2010, getting a Christmas gift for someone at Sears, and even being a couple days before Christmas the place was completely deserted. I guess with people moving farther south, & the remodel of South County Center, this mall is being abandoned. I’m really surprised that the AMC theater here is still open, because I can’t imagine who goes to it!
(On the bright side, if someone wanted to film a zombies-take-over-the-mall movie, this would be the perfect place to do it!)
I believe a correction needs to be made in the Additional Info section on the right. In that section, it says the previous operator for the Crestwood Plaza theater was General Cinema (GCC). I don’t think GCC ever had anything to do with this theater. It’s been AMC from Opening Day…right?
Please feel free to correct if I got that wrong…
Kyle is correct in his statement that GCC was never involved with this operation. It has been AMC since opening.
While on subject of corrections, it has been pointed out that there are no stadium-style venues; and, the 10-plex was not a re-do of the 5, which was in a different part of the mall.
On a sad note, the parking lot you see in the Google image is exactly what the parking lot at Crestwood Plaza (Court) looks like most of the time. You can’t even go into that Dillard’s building anymore. What a shame…
The Post-Dispatch just ran a story today (12/29/2011) that the Sears in Crestwood Plaza will close sometime next year (2012). It also says the owners have told many of the various artists who have been renting space in the mall that their leases will not be renewed in 2012. This can only mean the mall is going to be redeveloped, which means scrapped and totally redone. This also probably means this movie theater might not last much longer either.
I am surprised it has lasted this long, given AMC’s tendency to close older locations. This not a particularly attractive theater anymore and AMC has not upgraded it in quite some time. I think it is possible hat a new theater might be part of the new development, but except for Ronnie’s to the south and Landmark’s Plaza Frontenac to the the northwest, that part of greater Saint Louis is really under screened. I wonder how long AMC will hang on to the Esquire.
Do you think it’s possible AMC would consider putting a theater at South County Center if/when the Crestwood closes, seeing how South County Center seems to be doing much better?
Informed last night by staff member that the final day of operation is slated to be May 31st.
