The Plano Texas AMC 7 movie cinema

These photos were taken in Nov of 1999 right after the decommission of the theatre a month prior and before vandals where able to destroy this wonderful place!

the AMC 7 was built in 1985 as one of the first large scale movie theaters in a city that was expected to grow quite large over the next ten years!
at the time of its construction it was surrounded by large amount of empty land
which was soon developed into a residential community.
after 14 years of film magic the theater was forced to close due to its larger competitors cineamark. the theater closed Oct 31 1999.


I do apologize for the extremely bad quality of the photos the photos were taken on a disposable camera with a crummy flash!
The above photo is of the main concession querry.
as of now vandals have broken all the swell 80s facade including the neon tubes and mirrors.

behind the wall is a stock room wich contained a large metal cage around the size of a small room with a pad lock on it.


Here is a shot of the upstairs office hall hidden from public view.

The poor quality pictures were more than made up for by the description/history of the place you gave. Thanks for the effort.

yes it is
at the moment the bank owns the property and
has been avidly trying to sell it since 2000.
just recently the city of plano has posted signs stating that anyone caught inside the property will be prossicuited . I belive this is due to the constant entry being made to the building .
in 2002 someone broke all the front box office windows out and tagged the entire building . after that all theatre exit doors were welded shut and the front was boarded. there is still means for entry tho.

there is also a very strange story to the 16 story building in Dallas by 35!
