News About This Theater
- Jan 1, 2007 — How feasible is opera in movie theaters?
The AMC Neshaminy 24 Theatres opened September 18, 1998 at the Neshaminy Mall in the Philadelphia suburbs as one of two theatres with this design, the other being in Spain. Costing $11 million to construct, when it opened it was the largest multiplex movie theatre in Pennsylvania.
This state-of-the-art megaplex has 24 stadium seating theaters with digital surround sound. At the main entry to the mall, are the four largest auditoriums. Originally auditoriums 1 and 24 had about 600 seats and 61 feet wide screens. Auditorium 1 was redone and reopened in August 2008 as a digital IMAX theatre with 529 seats. Auditoriums 2 and 23 have about 400 seats and huge screens. Auditoriums 7 thru 18have fairly large screens. The smallest auditoriums, with about 100 or fewer seats are 3 to 6 and 19 to 22. In 2007, the theatre’s first digital projection arrived for the movie “Zodiac”. As of April 2011, about half the auditoriums had been converted to digital projection.
3 concession stands serve patrons, as the two Metros are located by auditoriums # 1, 2, 23 and 24, and the Uptown is located by auditoriums 7 to 18. When all three concession stands are open, they can serve 2,500 people an hour. This theater replaced a previous AMC Theatre in the mall, the AMC Premier Twin Theatre, which was closed in around 1992/1993. The nearest movie theatres are at Oxford Valley and Franklin Mills.
This theater has been voted by the people of Bucks county (via the Bucks County Courier Times) to be the best theater in the county from 1999 thru 2005. It has been one of the most busiest and profitable movie theatres in the nation since it opened. The IMAX with laser screen reopened on November 11, 2022 screening “Black Panther Wakanda Forever”.

I read that starting in 2018 they were starting a rollout to convert 85 IMAX theaters in the USA to 4K Laser Projection. I’m hoping that the Neshaminy 24 is one of them. IMO it would seem like the Neshaminy would be a natural choice for 4K Laser as it’s one of the larger Digital IMAX theaters and has a nice big screen as Digital IMAXs go plus the Neshaminy 24 is apparently one of the highest grossing megaplexes in the US. With the way technology is moving forward, I wonder how soon other companies like Barco, Sony and Christy will start rolling out their own 4K projectors in regular auditoriums? I have read that the new THX Ultimate Cinema may even surpass Dolby Cinema in sound and picture quality.
The only AMC’s in the Philadelphia/South & Central area that received Laser IMAX we’re: Cherry Hill 24, Hamilton 24 (since Closed), and New Brunswick 18
As of October 3, 2022, the IMAX Theatre is being renovated to become a Laser IMAX Theatre. It is slated to be open in time for Avatar: Way Of The Water
As of November 11, 2022, the IMAX Theatre reopened as a “IMAX with Laser st AMC” Theatre, with “Black Panther Wakanda Forever” in Laser IMAX and Laser IMAX 3D.
New Seat Counts at Neshaminy 24’s laser projectors conversion (Conversion started 9/9 and ended 9/18): Theatre #1 (IMAX with Laser): 198 (Since 11/11/2021 - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever); Theatre #2: 431;Theatre #3: 78; Theatre #4: 77; Theatre #5: 78; Theatre #6: 104; Theatre #7: 186; Theatre #8: 158; Theatre #9: 157; Theatre #10: 158; Theatre #11: 158; Theatre #12: 204; Theatre #13: 205; Theatre #14: 158; Theatre #15: 158; Theatre #16: 158; Theatre #17: 157; Theatre #18: 186; Theatre #19: 106; Theatre #20: 77; Theatre #21: 77; Theatre #22: 78; Theatre #23: 431; Theatre #24 (Dolby Cinema): 248 (Since 5/27/2017 - Baywatch). Theatres #2 & 24 lost 8 seats, and the other 20 Theatres lost 3 to 4 seats, all in the back row.
Had only been in the IMAX and Dolby auditoriums since the Pandemic however I did just see a film (The Friend) a week ago in one of the regular auditoriums (#13). Theater #13 is one of the “medium sized” rooms at 205 w/regular stadium seating and a decent sized 1.85 to 1 screen and the new AMC Laser Projection. Much to my very pleasant surprise, right before the trailers started the top masking came down which in addition to the really excellent Laser Projection made for a top notch presentation. Glad to see (at least in theater #13) that the Neshaminy 24 is still using masking. Unfortunately, I would guess that once the masking needs maintenance or repair it will be gone.

Please rename theatre to AMC Neshaminy 24 as per website
Entering and exiting the complex through the mall is next to impossible, as the mall has very few stores remaining open. Best bet for entry is from outside. That’s good as since this “mall” will be closed soon, it can still continue to operate.
Laser projection & sound were great. Just the amount of trailers and commercials was maddening. Published start time 11am, Nicole Kidman shows up at 11:20, then 5 more minutes of bizarre coke commercials before the movie actually starts.
Announcement that the Neshaminy Mall is going to be demolished later this year, early next year. Developers have not put forth plans for the space. The Anchor stores will remain - those being the movie theatres, Boscov’s and Barnes & Noble. Remaining tenants must vacate by 10/31.
