I remember going to this theater in the summer of 1984 to see the Led Zeppelin film ‘The Song Remains the Same’. It was an almost-weekly pilgrimage for my friend Tom and I to make the trip from Philly for midnight shows.Good times.
May 13th, 1983 grand opening ad in photo section.
In reply to hdtv267, HD TV at its best is said to be equivalent to 16mm, so yes, 2k & 4k digital film projection should be better than TV even if perhaps not always up to 35mm standards. And, yes, I’d look forward to a report in writing- and photos if someone would, as to these changes.
The AMC Fresh Meadows 7 went through simiar renovations.
The AMC Marlton 8 is currently being renovated, with new comfortable reclining seats, and Coca Cola’s Freestyle soda system, which has 100+ choices of Coca Cola products.
AMC Marlton 8 was the place to be to go to movies. I went to lots of movies from Transformers 3 to The Avengers. Great experince and Great service. It will not die
The Marlton 8 began construction in 1982 around November and was completed by May 1983. I was a Projectionist/Engineer/ Marketing manager here from 1989 to 1998 when I transferred to help open our 24 plex at Neshaminy. I stayed with AMC until late 2006. And no, I really never believed house 7 was haunted.
the 1st theater i ever saw a film at, and my 1st job
When I was a kid, I remember seeing “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai” here. I seem to recall that it was the ONLY theater in the Philly area showing it. My dad took me on a Saturday afternoon and we were among the SIX people watching the movie. The other four were wearing Japanese-style headbands.
Kind of a surreal memory.
Bad Moon came out in 1996.
Oh yeah, add The Fugitive and In the Line of Fire to ‘93…crazy summer.

I remember seeing Saving Private Ryan there, and, it is still one of the most emotional movie experiences I have ever had. It will never be as good as it was on the big screen. I remember crying, and the whole theather standing in ovation at the end.
