Midcontinent Theatres Co. opened the Midco 10 on May 6, 1994 as Grand Forks' first modern megaplex. On September 13, 1995 Carmike Theatres bought the company’s theatrical portfolio with Midco keeping its television interests. AMC purchased Carmike Theatres in 2016.

AMC rebranded the vast majority of inherited Carmike and Kerasotes theatres as AMC Classics. The Classic brand generally meant the location would receive just modest updates and were likely not going to be candidates for lease renewals. This location became the AMC Classic Grand Forks 10. It closed along with most U.S. cinemas on March 16, 2020 for the COVID-19 pandemic. The AMC Classic Grand Forks 10 reopened September 3, 2020. But AMC closed here at the expiry of a 30-year lease on June 29, 2023.

Odyssey Cinemas took on the venue in 2024 and decided to gut the building in favor of a family entertainment center including theatrical films including a premium large screen format (PLF) three-story auditorium, duckpin bowling, live stage, and high-end bar. The Odyssey Cinemas Grand Forks would open in 2025 though is currently renovating. A picture of a new auditorium is in photos.
