The AMC 30 at the Block opened on November 20, 1998 at the Block of Orange. It did great business, but when “The Blair Witch Project” opened (it was one of 27 theaters that booked it), it put this theater on the headlines. The Block of Orange became a hugely popular meeting spot for teens and young adults. The theater has four large auditoriums that (that seat 575 and 400, two each), and has 26 other auditoriums with sizes that range from 90 – 270. Today, it is still one of the top three visited AMC’s in the country.

We had a church in one auditorium when I worked at the AMC La Jolla 12… in fact, they effectively used three auditoriums, because the neighboring two had to be kept vacant during services because the singing/music were easily heard through the walls.
The use of Theater 15 as a church appears to have been a one-time-only event, and wrapped up around 11 a.m. on Sunday 03-18-2013. The screening room was back in cinema use by noon. Apparently the congregation will be moving to a hotel conference room until it finds a permanent locale, according to the article cited above.
The walls at most AMC theaters are pretty thin so the sound does travel. Of course they set the volume so low that it is hard to hear especially when there is a large crowd. Showmanship is dead and AMC helped kill it.
