This 16-screen megaplex opened on May 25, 2007 with 4,900-seats. The theater has DLP projection in at least one auditorium and two auditoria with rear window captioning.
The theater is the successor to the old Route 4 tenplex. Unlike that now closed theater, the new AMC Garden State 16 is attached to Garden State Plaza, the busiest mall in New Jersey.
This theater was originally supposed to be a Loews, but that changed (just like the Rockaway location) when AMC bought LCE. By 2023 it was operating with 15-screens. The total seating capacity was reduced to 4,423-seats

Dan The Man yes I have been hired once again to run the 70MM. My partner Rich is again with me. We are going in on July 13 to check out the equipment and do some test runs. Tuesday we will most likely load and run the movie thru. We may be asked to help out at Cherry Hill, but that remains to be seen. I hope to give you another 100% perfect presentation.
markp - that is great news! Can’t wait to see this on a bigger screen! Hope folks come to see THE summer blockbuster. Keep film alive as well! This will be my first time watching anything in 70mm here. NYC theaters have great 70mm programs this summer.
Dan_The_Man I will be working mostly Sat Sun Wed Thurs every week except August 2 when I will running 35MM at the Union Count Performing Arts Center in Rahway.
markp I just saw The Odyssey this Wednesday for the 4:30pm showing. Great presentation! Loved the screen, especially that 2.20 aspect ratio. It’s bigger than AMC Lincoln Square 70mm screen. Great to see an epic on 70mm. Heard the film projector run. Haven’t heard any projector run since watching One Battle After Another in VistaVision at Regal Union Square in NYC. Audience definitely enjoyed it. Nice and packed. That was my 6th viewing of this. Saw it in IMAX 70mm a few times at AMC Lincoln Square with friends. Some were their first time watching anything on that screen. Some of those tickets were purchased over a year ago. Great to see some 70mm back in action here in NJ.

The “!” indicates recliner seating.
Note: “(15/70mm)” refers to auditorium #15 being able to present films in 5-perf 70mm. It cannot present films in 15-perf 70mm, otherwise known as IMAX 70mm.
70mm film is 70mm Film
70mm IMAX film is 70mm IMAX film
There’s a difference.
A standard vertical 70mm film frame is 5 perforations tall (measuring 23.8125 mm or 15/16 inches high) with a 2.2:1 aspect ratio
A 70mm IMAX film frame measures approximately 70 mm wide by 48.5 mm to 52 mm high (about 2.75 inches by 2 inches)
@nothing but cinemas Theatre 9 is XL at AMC and didn’t see any ScreenX movies or theatre 4 opened, when is it schedule to open?
