Please update, theatre opened December 24, 1976 AND expanded to 6 screens on July 16, 1982
I don’t remember every film I saw there, but I did see many classics there. I know I saw The 1978 remake of “The Invasion of the Bodysnatchers” and “The Shining” there. I think “Rock and Roll High School” played there for a week. Not necessarily a great theater, but I’ve seen some of my still favorite movies there.
This opened on December 24th, 1976 with four screens. Its grand opening ad can be found in the photo section.
You can officially list this theater as DEMOLISHED. It is now an overflow parking lot for Christmas Tree Shop. A sad day.
I was unaware that it closed as well. Very sad. I would have loved to go for one more show. Was there any word beforehand?
I don’t have the exact date of its closing.
When did they close Michael Rambo. AMC sucks
The AMC Deptford Malll 6 Theatre should be listed now as “Closed”
Not too many here: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Glengary Glen Ross, Clueless, Batman Forever, Braveheart…the early-mid ‘90s.
True about the bathrooms. as a teen I would wonder in and out of movies all day if I was alone or with friends.
I saw Batman on opening weekend here. It was a mob scene. I remember channel 6 was there interviewing people. I will never forget the smell of astroturf carpet and popcorn. This theater also had the Taco Bell experiment in the early 90s. I ermember people complaining about the smell, which I’m sure had something to do with the ending of this menu item. This was also one of the last theaters to use the old style tickets that just had the theater number on it. Very random, and easily counterfitted. You are also right about the rear consession stand. I only remember seeing it open once, and that was for Batman.
This theater also has an easy layout for sneaking in. There is only 1 bathroom, and the middle of the building. there is an exit right in front of this, so, as the door opened, we would just duck into, then, out the other doors, which were already inside. No sweat.
Growing up in nearby Bellmawr, I seen tons of movies here. I remember seeing Smokey and The Bandit here as well as The Shining in Theather 1 ( and hiding in the hallway leading to the doors because I was scared senseless. I was only 10 at the time )
I skipped school with my Brother on May 25, 1983 to see Return of the Jedi ( it was a Wednesday ) The first show was around 11:30am… We arrived around 10am to an already forming line. Our place was near the back of the building, but the line eventually warped around the back of the parking lot past Frank’s Nusery. When the ticket booth opened, The Manager walked out with a bullhorn and announced that they would take tickets at the back doors. We watched as the first ticket holders RAN to the back doors. The local newspaper was interviewing people. The film played on screen 5 & 6 at the same time.
Maybe the only time the back doors and rear concession stand was opened.
The AMC Depford Mall 6 Theatre opened in the late 1970’s as General Cinema Deptford Mall 4 Theatre.
