AMC Theaters Rolling Out AMC Dine-In Theaters

Rant about 14 years agoby

AMC Theaters have been rolling out a new theater concept that I am very excited about called AMC Dine-In Theaters.

As a huge fan of the Alamo Drafthouse Theaters, the new AMC Dine-In theaters are a great idea. I am well aware that it will not be anything exactly like Alamo Drafthouse; there is no way to duplicate the ambiance of those theaters. It is a great way to take your theater going experience to the next level.

One of these theaters is opening right near me in NJ. Below is a description of what the new AMC Dine-In Theaters have to offer. Do these sound like theaters you would visit?
