I was part of the opening crew back in 1994. Being the first theater with stadium seating it was very cool…and busy. Good times.
This movie theater reopened in January 2022 as the Studio Movie Grill - North Point.
Alpharetta, GA: Studio Movie Grill - North Point Now Open [Feb 2, 2022]
Studio Movie Grill is moving forward with plans to open a new dine-in movie theater on North Point Parkway. The new theater would replace the former AMC Mansell Crossing 14 which closed June 3 after nearly 25 years in business.
This theater has closed:
Alpharetta, GA: AMC Classic Mansell Crossing 14 Closed – Jun 3, 2019
This opened on June 24th, 1994. This could be the first AMC megaplex with stadium seating. ad:

The Theatre Since 1994.
Now As A AMC Classic Mansell Crossing 14 Theatre.
This is the first stadium-seating theater in the state of Georgia, if I recall correctly. 21 years later, it’s still doing business.
AMC’s Mansell Crossing 14 was featured on the cover of the September, 1994, issue of Boxoffice. In addition, an article about the house starts on this page of the same issue. The multiplex was designed by the architectural firm Gould Evans Associates.
Dooneyman,a theif from an Atlanta Multiplex did happen.I remember reading it in the Atlanta paper.Don’t know which one.They did get caught i am pretty sure. Hold your bank deposits on some of these 20 plexes and you would have quite a bit of bread. We would deposit tens of thousands of Dollars in the years i worked for GCC at a triple over the weekends including the Midnight shows,Concession,game machines and feature films.Surprizes it hasn’t happen more often.Don’t know what the checks and balances are at these monster multiplexes to secure funds.Guess it is still up to being honest.

Is this not the correct address? I got the address from AMC’s website.
The above website also says a theater called the Tower Place 6 used to sit on the exact same address and land that this theater now sits on. The Tower Place theater was apparently demolished in the early 90’s to make way for the AMC theater.
I moved to the area in July 1992, but I don’t remember the Tower Place theater. Was it already torn down by then? That website lists it as closing in 1990, but who knows how accurate that date is. Does anyone remember the Tower Place 6? Did anyone ever go there or work there?
Over at movie-theatre.org, they say this place opened June 24, 1994. I haven’t found any newspaper articles to confirm it yet, but that may be correct. My earliest memory of going to this theater includes seeing a “Pulp Fiction” poster out front (Pulp Fiction was released in October, 1994).
It was also during this time that Eddie (I think) told me that one of the senior managers at the place stole like $50,000 from the theater and skipped town (he went to Vegas maybe?). I feel like one of my other friends who worked there corroborated the story.
Did anyone work there during this time? Is this story true?
I remember during my high school years (the late 90’s/early 2000’s), a few of my friends worked here. Around 2002 or 2003, my friend Eddie was working there over the weekend and told me that he was cleaning out the men’s bathrooms and found a dead guy in one of the stalls. Apparently, he had a heart attack while taking a dump. I never really got the full story, but someone had to clean that up and it wasn’t Eddie.
That was one of the most horrifying and hilarious stories I heard while in high school.
