50sSNIPES commented about AMC Stockdale on Feb 15, 2026 at 5:01 am

Opening on August 21, 1974 is AMC’s first multiplex theater in Bakersfield. Four auditoriums housed 275 seats, while two smaller houses housed 140 and 125, which is a total of 1,365 seats. All auditoriums featured installations of RadioShack shelf speakers. Just on time for “Alien”, Dolby Stereo was installed inside two auditoriums in 1979.

The Stockdale became very notable in 1986 when its projection standards became one of the most brightest illumination in America. It stayed completely bright throughout the year, but by the end, it was properly illuminated. Other installations the theater have later in its history include Ultra-Stereo in 1989 in four auditoriums, and SDDS in January 1997 in one auditorium. Unfortunately, that same year in 1997 ended its leadership days and the Stockdale flipped to bargain.

The multiplex boom from Edwards and Pacific fell big at the AMC, and AMC closed the Stockdale 6 on May 7, 2000.
