How are you confirming this information about seating?
The new Imax with Laser now open in Theatre 1 with 209 signature recliners just open
@ridethectrain did a walk-through with theater manager and asked for all capacities. Guessing possible discrepancy could be do to handicap seating?
What your source of the capacity @Theaers are Better. Yours are about 6 seats higher in each screen. My numbers was from Pacific Theatres showclock about 20 years ago. I don’t think the seats were ever replace.
June 2022 Update: Theater 1 - formerly 390. Currently under renovation to become IMAX. Recliners will reduce capacity.// Theater 2 - formerly 403. Currently under renovation to become Dolby Cinema. Recliners will reduce capacity. // Theater 3 - 296. Will soon be converted to Prime. Recliners will reduce capacity. // Theater 4 - 235 // Theater 5 - 180 // Theater 6 - 180 // Theater 7 - 180 // Theater 8 - 141 // Theater 9 - 140 // Theater 10 -139 // Theater 11 - 139 // Theater 12 - 139 // Theater 13 - 139 // Theater 14 - 282
Will this be renovated anytime soon with Recliners, etc?
Just uploaded some photos from my 2014 visit
Grand opening ad as AMC in Photos section and the funny thing is Fandango still advertise XD in theatre 2, but AMC is not using Pacific LSF. Also, AMC didn’t mention 3D either, guess they don’t want to be involve with DOLBY 3D that Pacific used.
Guess will have to wait what AMC puts in. Right now, all 14 screens are still open with Pacific crazy numbering system in the RSVP seating plans
While omitted from news reports, the property is still owned by the Gilmore family (historic site of the Gilmore farm, Gilmore Oil, Gilmore field, Gilmore Drive In, etc.). Caruso developed/manages the center, AMC leases the theatre from Caruso, and the Gilmores lease the land to Caruso.
Please update: Today (August 13, 2021) is the opening day of the rebranded AMC The Grove 14.

AMC expects to begin welcoming guests at both locations in the coming weeks
LEAWOOD, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.

AMC is expected to reopen the theatres in August.
The theatres, both formerly Pacific Theatres locations, have been closed for more than a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the coming months, AMC will significantly enhance the premium movie-going options by renovating three auditoriums and introducing three premium large format screens at each theatre. An IMAX at AMC, Dolby Cinema at AMC and PRIME at AMC all will be offered at The Grove and also all will be offered at The Americana at Brand theatres.

I wish I had the chance to visit this theatre. It looked really nice, but hopefully someone will step up to keep it open.
March 15th, 2002 grand opening ad for the Grove and the ArcLight
Pacific sold its theaters outside Southern California to Australian company Reading International in 2007. Pacific and its Sister company ArcLight now operate under the banner of their parent company, Decurion Corporation, owned by the Forman family. They also own Robertson Properties, a real estate development company.
Chris Utley the web site still shows it as a Pacific Theater along with their others. This was news to me because I thought Pacific Theaters went belly up years ago.
Seating capacities at this theater (via Fandango’s reserved seating service):
Theater 1 – 390 seats
Theater 2 – 398 seats
Theater 3 – 292 seats
Theater 4 – 231 seats
Theaters 5, 6, & 7 – 177 seats
Theater 8 – 138 seats
Theater 9 – 137 seats
Theaters 10, 11, 12, & 13 – 136 seats
Theater 14 – 278 seats
Theater is now reserved seating – but still labeled as a Pacific & not an ArcLight.
good theater. kind of overpriced though. I’d much rather pay an extra $1-$1.50 and go to the Arclight or The Landmark for the reserved seating.
It’s 85 degrees today-ready to move here? Nice photos.
