“NEVER AGAIN.
During my visit here today I encountered: drug use AND selling in the mens room, filthy toilet stalls, endless concession lines with ONE person working and several other employees just standing around, sticky floors in the auditorium, sticky substance on the armrest, the stench of booze in the auditorium, someone smoking in the auditorium, a screaming match over the use of a cellphone AND a fist fight over the use of some sort of electronic device that was playing music (loudly) all DURING THE MOVIE. And there were MAYBE 30 people in the theater. It was like watching a movie at the old Harris on 42nd St on a Friday night (except this was Wednesday and AMC is supposed to be a decent place.) Ironically enough, the presentation was OK (a rarity here.) And no, it is NOT the neighborhood – this does not happen at the Ewalk across the street – no matter what kind of obnoxious movie they are showing. I seem to recall that there were a couple shootings here as well. Now that AMC owns everything, is THIS what we have to look forward to? In addition to their generally lousy presentations!?!

Wow, all that happened to you in one visit???? Are you sure you didn’t experience a drive by shooting through the lobby too??? Sounds like to me you just have a beef with AMC. I know alot of problems are prevelent at E-Walk and it’s not the paradise you paint it to be. Sorry, I just think you have a score to settle with Empire and this is your way of paybacks.
I saw many a movie here as was a bribe from my Grandmother to have patience with her while she shopped in the Pathmark across the hall inside the mall. Who remembers the Pathmark? And the Harvest Grill at Woolworth’s?
I know a former Projectionist from this Theater. Calvin Thompson. He is a very avid Disney memorabilia collector and one heack of a Disney Artist. Talk about passion for film. Calvin was and still is tops.
If 20th Century had given me just one more print of “Sith”, I could have interlocked the remaining 8 houses giving Neshaminy the Nationwide record for attendence. We came in 5th though. Not bad I might add.
If you want me to eat dirt, I would have to go to a regal cinema. The same would be if you want bad sound, scratched prints, and rude employees. If that’s your gig, Regal is your best bet.
To the question of who voted Neshaminy the best popcorn? I did. I taste the popcorn at every theater I go to and in my opinion, AMC Neshaminy has the best. I’ve tasted the popcorn at Cinemark, Regal(Ughh), Ritz(the worst)Marcus Theaters, Carmike(OK), Lowes(OK) Arclight in Hollywood(OK), Grauman’s Chinese(Very tasty), Egyptian(OK), El Capitan(OK), Bridge Deluxe, Philly/L.A.(Ughh)(Nice Theater’s though), and a myriad of independant theaters throughout the US. Neshaminy is consistant on the taste and the only popcorn I can’t put down. Sorry if that’s biased to you, but that’s just “My opinion”. You don’t have to agree with it. Do your own taste test.
Neshaminy 24 is one of 2 Theaters with it’s design. The other being in Spain. Neshaminy has 10 Bathroom facilities, 3 large concession stands that can handle over 2500 people an hour when all 3 are operating, a long 12 terminal Box Office, 7 seperate Projection Booth’s (oh that poor Projection manager) and a mile walk from front to back. Not to mention the best Popcorn in the Philadelphia area.
Neshaminy 24 is the largest Theater complex in Pennsylvania, (4th on the east coast} and is consistantly ranked in the Top 25 Theatres nationwide for attendance, which is a testament to what a grand facility it is.
