First movie I saw here was PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. Last, so far, was CREED II. Saw one of the F&F movies there on my birthday in house 6, whichever one opened on April 29.
The AMCs here and in Marlton were notable - eight screens were a lot in the ‘80s.
Please update, total seats 772. This theatre has AMC Signature Recliners
Throughout my life, I’ve seen the following movies here: Sanctum, Get Out, Sleight, Annabelle: Creation, and The Disaster Artist.
More will perhaps follow in the months ahead…

I went to college at GSC (Rowan), in the 80’s, saw “Gandhi”, “Tootsie”, “ON Golden Pond” there. Good theater
This theatre opened sometime in 1982
Well, Mike, I was a kid back then. I would never do it now, obviously. But, management and workers were pretty lax, plus, we had friends that worked there. We’d save the large popcorn and drink cups for “free” refills, so, we never paid for those either. When we got into our teens, and getting caught could mean the back of a cop car, we put an end to it.
Oh,I guess you stole candy too when the girls weren’t watching.

This theater holds hold my most movie memories. I saw Return of the Jedi 6 times there, and, was there at the re-release of it years later. From 1989 to 1995, we must have snuck in to see over 100 film. We snuck into just as many across the street at the 6. I remember huge lines for the openings of Back to the Future 2, Dick Tracy & the Phantom Menace. I also remember seeing Event Horion at the midnight show, and walking out to a pitch black packing lot. The lights were on a timer then, and they failed to realize the hundreds of people still inside. I think they have fixed this. I also remember the bullhorn that used to come out and let everyone know what was sold out. Do they still do this? I also remember the Midnight shows they had there. Before the VCR craze, they would run old movies at midnight at a discount price. I must have seen Purple Rain 5 times one summer. They also showed alot of scary movies then, like Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Always packed!
