Opening with special screenings of Charlton Heston movies on December 11, 1995. The first new movie was “Jumanji” on December 15, 1995, this theatre was the largest in San Diego at the time. Theatre is built on stilts above the parking structure below. It opened with twenty Strong projectors and Strong platters, all projectors with SDDS, some DTS and Dolby Digital as well.
This theatre was AMC’s first with stadium seating in San Diego. This mammoth ushered in the era of the megaplex to San Diego. Great location in the heart of San Diego.

The AMC website is listing Mission Valley 20 as a future Dolby Cinema screen, but they don’t have a specific date. I certainly hope it’s before December; that’s when I’m supposed to be out that way…
Can I ask what is a Dolby Cinema Screen. Is this an AMC exclusive?
Dolby Cinema information can be found at https://www.dolby.com/us/en/platforms/dolby-cinema.html. AMC has it as an exclusive for its larger theaters, while their competition have Regal RPX, Cinemark XD, as well as Big D which AMC acquired from Carmike. Worldwide, there a few chains that have it according to the website. The dolby auditorium is a retrofitted screen with projection that is crisper and natural and brighter than a normal screen, reserved rumbling recliners, and Dolby Atmos surround sound. Upon entering the theater, a video wall featuring the upcoming movie awaits moviegoers on their way to the theater. Before the movie, a soundcheck trailer is shown informing the audience about the process. Much like THX, a person checks all the equipment and seating before each show to make sure that the presentation is top notch. My local AMC in Rockaway is getting it soon.
Oh wow thanks moviebuff 82. Sounds like a totally different concept. Not sure I would like the rumbling recliners. Regal RPX at least here in Asheville is the pits. I’ve seen 2 films in the RPX theater Sully and Beauty and The Beast and both were shown in regular 2.35 format. Definitely not worth the extra money especially since two of the other screens in this multiplex are much larger.
Grand opening ads posted.
Seriously, was the last time they cleaned the seats, was during the Clinton administration ?
There needs to be a Facebook group called “seats of the amc mission valley 20”
Go here https://www.facebook.com/groups/feed/
look on the left hand side of the screen (if you’re on a laptop or desktop) the 4th thing down is an icon that says “Create New Group”
so there ya go.
Thanks m00se1111, but I’m not the one who’s going to do it. I never really use Facebook that much really. I’m just saying the seats a notoriously filthy. But thanks.
Please update, total seats 3,698
