Grand opening ad from the Pilot: AMC Hermosa 6 opening Fri, Nov 18, 1988 – 37 · News-Pilot (San Pedro, California) · Newspapers.com
November 18th, 1988 grand opening ad in photo section.
“The Rocketeer” was presented at the AMC Hermosa 6 in 35mm Dolby Stereo beginning on Friday June 21, 1991.
I worked here from 1991 to 1993. Always very slow during the week. Weekends were fairly busy. Desmond was GM for a while, the place went downhill when he left. Mgr Heidi Dean was a nightmare.
Brix Cafe is now closed. That location is the kiss of death.
The AMC Hermosa Beach opened on Nov. 18th. 1988. During the opening day they held a classic film festival and had penny popcorn and dime cokes.
The films shown at the festival:
“The Bridge on the River Kwai"
"Casablanca"
"From Here to Eternity"
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
"High Noon"
"Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)
"North By Northwest"
"The Quiet Man”
Hum drum, no frills 80’s era AMC plex. Went here about 3 or 4 times maybe (I used to work down the street).

Most of these small theatre complexes did not last. The late 90’s brought larger Stadium Style seat theatres that audiences embraced.
I saw “Mr. Baseball” here in the early nineties. This mall always has bad luck no matter how many times they remodel it.
