I worked at this theater from 1997-1999, through the transition from Dickinson to Goodrich. The theater was on the decline when the AMC Town Center 20 opened at 119th and Nall and the theaters had to split product. AMC managed to snag the blockbusters, leaving the theater slow on Friday and Saturday nights.
When Goodrich took over in 1999, they had a crazy idea to rebuild the lobby by tearing down one of the concession stands. That construction project was halted shortly thereafter when ticket sales continued to decline. Eventually, they finished the project by putting in a small counter (like you would find in your bathroom) with a sink.
Before I moved to the Dickinson Great Mall 16, Goodrich had dedicated one theater to showing classic movies. Unfortunately, no one showed up for those either. Those old films were horrible to build up!
Picture of the theater as a 24 Hour Fitness added.
