Contrary to the description, it opened on December 16, 1988, with TEN screens. Its opening movies include The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, Tequila Sunrise, My Stepmother is an Alien, Cocoon: The Return, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Scrooged, Rain Man, Twins, Oliver & Company, Santa Claus: The Movie, and Ernest Saves Christmas (which was filmed at the Disney-MGM Studios not too far away). When it expanded to 24 screens on July 3, 1997, its opening movies include Men in Black (on five screens), Hercules (on three screens), Con Air (on two screens), Batman & Robin (on two screens), Wild America, Face/Off (on three screens), The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Out to Sea, Speed 2, and My Best Friend’s Wedding (on two screens).
1.90
That having been said, is Auditorium 1’s aspect ratio 1.90 or 2.35?
The ETX theatre was the first for AMC, and was installed in Auditorium 1. It is now a Dolby Cinema theatre, as mentioned earlier.
Please update, total seats 3496 (due to dine in converted to recliners and lost of seats due to Dolby Cinema).
If anyone comes across any pictures from these theaters in (what I consider) their hey day in the early 90’s, please post them. I can remember how beautiful the center atrium was, when it was open into it’s full length, and there were banners hanging from the rafters for movie premieres that had taken place there. I used to see multiple movies there almost every week of the year. Sadly, even still living just a few miles away, that’s slowed to almost never with the theater now forcing you to pick specific seats, and pre-selling said seats. I used to just show up early, buy a ticket, and sit where I wanted. Now everything is sold out weeks in advance in the areas of the theaters that I like, and I can’t even get a ticket. But AMC Pleasure Island (as is used to be called) was my 2nd home for several decades.
Theatres #15 to #18 are being converted into Dine-In, and Dine-In #19 and 20 are being renovated.
American Multi-Cinema
What does AMC stand for?
Now Is A AMC Dine-In Disney Springs 24 Theatre.
The ETX Screen is slated to become a Dolby Cinema screen.
July 3rd, 1997 grand opening ad for the expansion. It was the largest theatre in the state.
This opened on December 16th, 1988. Its grand opening ad can be found in the photo section.
I added in an advertisement when it was a 10 screen and now we need the one with 24 screens
It was AMC Pleasure Island 8 when it opened.
Sorry that i am nagging about grand opening ads but they are so hard for me to find the ones i want to see
This theatre used to be named AMC Pleasure Island 24,then to AMC Downtown Disney 24 I bet whoever finds the grand opening ad i think it will be named Pleasure Island
This theatre is now called AMC Disney Springs 24
Atmos isn’t listed on their site or Fandango anymore.
Theatre 1 ETX auditorium has Atmos
If anyone has any pictures of this theater from it’s very early days, I’d be very curious to see them. Despite the vastness of the internet, I’ve yet to find more than 2 or 3 after a long time spent searching. In the early 90’s it was a real gem. One of the very very best in the whole country, but the whole complex surrounding it by Pleasure Island and Planet Hollywood was so open and new. The place is still great, but has gotten so developed and is always so crowded, that I really miss those early days.
which auditorium has the Atmos system?
The new screen setup for the AMC Downtown Disney 24, as far as the Fork & Screen side is concerned is as follow: Theatres #19 & 20 is on the right hand side when you walk in, with both on the hallway on the right side, and a wall on the left hand side seperating Theatres #1 to 18 (The ETX [Aud #1]/Stadium Seating Side, and Theatres #21-24 on the left hand side, with Theatres #21 & #23 on the left hand side of the hallway, and #22 & 24 on the right hand side of the hallway. The “AMC MacGuffins” bar is where the concession stand used to be.
