the 6-plex was part of a burbank amc expansion in ‘95. the burbank mall theatre expanded from 4 screens to 8, and the 6 was built from scratch. it was originally called the 'media north 6’ to differentiate it from the nearby mall’s ‘media center 8’. the 6 opened in november 1995, and was one of the earlier stadium builds for the company. the nearby 8- and 14- screen buildings were entirely slope-floor buildings, with the exception of two amphitheaters at the 14. as the only stadium location in burbank, it was also one of the amc’s busiest theatres anywhere on a per-seat basis. the ability of the 6 to consistently sell out entire rounds of shows helped to nail the coffin in the old 14-plex, which was replaced by a stadium 16-plex in the summer of 2003. i managed here on and off for five years between 1997 and 2006, it’s still a sentimental favorite.

I’ve got maybe a dozen other shots of the place as it was being gutted for salvage. I was the last manager out, spent many nights those last few months going through and boxing up operations notes from over the years. Technically, the theatre site is now parking- the Best Buy occupies the old theatre parking lot.
