They’re gutting this place???
Status should be updated to closed.
Also there is an article on how the theater is in the process of being gutted. TOBY KEITHS restaurant chain is opening a location in 30,000 sq feet of the building.
It appears AMC is only showing films on 12 screens ?
Entertainment Property Trust announced it has a signed letter of intent from another exhibitor to take over the complex. EPT had been talking about downsizing the property or maybe a VIP/dinner section there. I don’t know if that’s right for the market but it appears that the screens won’t remain dark for long.
Visited The Grand when it was still new, and a groundbreaking experience. It’s my understanding that “Twister” grossed more than $1 million there alone.
Each generation of movie venue seems to be having shorter and shorter shelf lives. I’m aware of at least two other megaplexes (Crown Abacoa, Jupiter FL; Muvico Peabody Place, Memphis TN) that failed in just a few years. Perhaps The Grand’s 15 years were profitable enough for AMC to move on.

Wow! So this theater is basically a dead hole now? This is a legendary theater as the 1st megaplex, anyone know where it ranks in the Dallas area now? I know AMC has a big stake in Dallas already, so could this theater be at risk of being closed? What are the theaters that are close to it that compete significantly with the grand?
I dont know if it still does, but when it first opened it had speakers mounted in fake rocks out in the parking lot where music was piped out to. Sort of gained some notoriety for having a dangerous parking lot due to crime.
