HowardBHass Theatre 3 when it was a movie theatre was about 366 seats. My source was from Variety and I saw movies in most of the 6 theatres, mostly as a discount theatre. Went there once when it was full price.
I kept theatre capacity information for New York City, but my records prior 2003 got lost. At least Newspapers.com and Proquest I could look back.
I wish I took pictures inside this location, but didn’t start taking movie theatres on a regular since 2003
The Theatre open as 6 screens on August 5, 1994 as theSunnyvista Sunny Isles Beach Cinema. The fire happened sometime around October 30, 1994 (The last movies that played were Stargate, Little Giants, Exit To Eden, The River Wild, East Drink Man Woman, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare and The Specialist.
It closed as a Twin on November 11, 1993 with In The Line of Fire, Whats Love Got To Do With It, Sleepless In Seattle and The Firm
General Cinema sold the theatre on March 23, 1989 and it became independent.
Please update
UPDATE:
As of today, all theatres that are open are now with AMC Signature Recliners.
Theatres 9 thru 14 are now closed with the exception of Theatre 13 which is IMAX LASER.

Just an update on Union Square, all auditoriums are open except for theatre 4 and theatre 8 (now screen 9) downstairs. Theatres 1 to 8 are only open for late afternoon/evening shows due to construction.
You might want to add to the description the theatre is in direct competition with the Cinemark Willowbrook Mall. Both theatres are on the mall property and now both AMC and Cinemark show the same films.
Does the Paris still selling refreshments since Netflix is the running the theatre? I remember prior to Loews taking control, the theatre didn’t sell refreshments.
AMC and Regal are building new screens and renovating theatres without masking. Some AMC theatres have wide screen auditoriums that a scope film won’t be distracting. The AMC Village VII (screens 1, 2 and 3 are scope screens), AMC 19th Street East (1, 2,4,5 and 6 are scope screens, haven’t seen theatre 3) and AMC Roosevelt Field #3 and #8 are scope screens.
Some of the early AMC renovations to recliners have masking, but now AMC is opting for NO MASKING. Hopefully, when the AMC 34th is done, it should all be scope screens.
At Lincoln Square, avoid the downstairs screens #10 thru 12, the masking for FLAT films are smaller when they went digital.
In the remarks, It wasn’t rebuilt from scratch. The 8 screen complex remained the same, with the exception was the front part of the original Century being extended to make it ADA accessible, and moving the balcony of the theatre redone with entrances in the back and the 1987 extension remained intact.
AMC couldn’t stay open during renovations like other complexes since it didn’t have sections that could of been roped off. This was the same when the AMC Fantasy was renovated..
Please remove which required gutting the entire building. The original building had to be renovated to make it ADA accessible with escalators and move the balcony entrances to the back and removing the staircases from the old entrance. Just part of the building was renovated. Please review my photos.
This was my first visit since the renovation, all of the 8 screens, no masking. The only screens that are scope screens (masking for FLAT) is theatres 5 (old theatre 3 and former 70MM house balcony) and theatre 8.
The theatre layout is the same prior to the renovation, AMC added 2 escalators to the second floor and theatre 5/6 (former balcony) you enter in the back. It has two men/women restrooms but not enough stalls in the main Men’s room in the lobby.
The sound proofing was poor, I heard the sound from theatre 2 while watching my movie in theatre 1.
The one negative, the sight lines are not great.
AMC removed the auxiliary refreshment stand on the 2nd floor. I posted a few photos of the theatre and I have old photos which I put up a few years ago.
