Can confirm, until the Cinemark opened, this theater made money hand over fist for AMC. Cinemeccanica Vic5 projectors, and 3 Christie 5-deck platters. I don’t recall any auditorium having stereo in my brief times in the booth here - IIRC every auditorium was mono. It did have a toilet right out in the open in the booth, however.

In the grand scheme of things, it really doesn’t matter at this point. The site moderator is free to post whichever or go with the 1980s if that’s preferred. No great shakes. But if you want the actual changeover date from Transcontinental to AMC for whatever reason - please know that it was October 4, 1978 - confirmed. The first display ad blurb with logo Oct. 20th. In my opinion, I would leave the above unchanged as it’s solid… albeit a bit too long.
