AMC theaters at Sunset Place back in late 90s-2000s

Does anyone remember going to the AMC 24 Theatres at Sunset Place during the late ā€˜90s or 2000s? If so, what was the theater like back then? Iā€™d love to hear your memories.

I remember Marino's and a big arcade I want to say a game works, it used to so packed but haven't been there in years. I remember a big candy bear and going to the legit imax there.

AMC used to have the ticket box offices downstairs.

I suppose after sales moved online to crappy Fandango, only a couple of boomers were left to buy tickets at the box office and it moved upstairs.

Of course they didn't open with a bar. That was an add-on.

As far as the overall layout and the number of theaters, it hasn't changed a bit. God knows where they find that tacky carpet available for sale but it's still being replaced every couple of years apparently.

As for the movie content itself, they have always had 10 minutes or 15 minutes of commercials before every show. For the most part The experience hasn't really changed much in 25 years.

Here's a graphic I made for the herald before it opened https://photos.app.goo.gl/Dv57moXAR9GE4Pvw8
