This theatre’s opening films include For Richer or Poorer, Titanic (on three screens), Home Alone 3 (on two screens), Anastasia, Mouse Hunt (on two screens), Flubber, Tomorrow Never Dies (on three screens), and The Rainmaker.
Had not been to this theater in many years. Just saw The Bikeriders here in one of the medium sized auditoriums this past Saturday. Unfortunately the place has not aged well. I can forgive the lack of recliner seating and aging worn decor given the current financial crunch of surviving the pandemic and the other financial woes of the movie theater business but some things are inexcusable like broken seats, dirty sticky theater floors, and filthy bathrooms with broken toilet seats are a disgrace. On a positive note, the staff were polite and the screen (at least in Aud #10) appeared to be in very good condition, the projection was bright, sharp, and clear and drum roll…….the screen still retained its side masking which was retracted for the feature which was in ‘scope.
As many faults that AMC has I am glad they still use masking.
Just saw on the AMC website that the AMC Philadelphia Mills is now “permanently closed”. Unfortunate. Not my favorite theater and it certainly had gone to seed but I do remember when it opened as a modern multiplex with all digital surround sound and stadium seating (I think the two largest auditoriums were both “THX Certified”) as part of the GCC Theater chain replacing the 10 screener they had opened not that many years before at the other end of shopping area but separate from the Mall itself. I can recall it being very busy at the GCC Franklin Mills 14 back then. Sad state of affairs these days with movie theaters. Was very pleasantly surprised to hear that someone is taking over the shuttered UA Riverview Plaza.
Please update closed as of January 1, 2025 was the last day. Photo in photo section It looks like AMC was planning to shut it down, it was never upgraded for Laser at AMC nor IMAX Laser.
they definately never put any money into it, screen or seating upgrades.
Not sure what this means for Woodhaven, given the text in the closing notification saying Neshaminy is next closest.
Woodhaven is 1.8 miles from Franklin Mills
Good observation. I did not think of Woodhaven 10. Given that Woodhaven was just upgraded to AMC Laser Projection in all 10 auditoriums I would think it would not be closing. By the way, the Laser Projection at Woodhaven 10 is excellent. Big upgrade over the old Zenon Digital Projectors. Really bright sharp picture.
