Things I have Learned
During the first year of the 2000 opening, it was the top-grossing theater for AMC on the East Coast.
The theater was designed by Robert Luchetti Associates. Other designs they worked on include The Basketball Hall of Fame, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, St. Michaels School and many more.
The premium theater cost more than a regular theater - even if you don't order any food from your seat. In 2003, the premium seats cost $17.50 per person. Today it cost $12.99. (If you order online or via the AMC app there is a $3.79 convenience Fee.)
You can save money by purchasing discounted gift cards at BJs or AAA.
The Dine-In theaters are on the left side of the building, as your driving in. If you are seeing a show in a Dine-In theater you should park on the left side of the building - so that you're not walking that far after the movie gets out.
Most theaters allow people in at least a 1/2 hour before the scheduled showtime.
People that order popcorn in the Dine-In gets a large popcorn tub. Regular concession users will only get popcorn bags.
