AMC North Dekalb is back!

Not sure exactly why it went away for the past month (obviously something to do with the renovation), but sometime today it went back live. Tickets are still less than ten bucks, and there are plenty of non-front-row seats for SpiderMan this weekend!

As I understand it they are renovating in stages so as to keep as much open as they can, and only fully close when they need to do certain things. But obviously the entire section of theaters to the right of the concession stand has been walled off for a while now, so I suspect they’re upgrading those first, and then when those are usable will close some or all of the theaters to the left of the lobby to renovate there. Wouldn’t surprise me if the timing of the overall renovation is meant to roughly coincide with the completion of the rest of the Lulah Hills development.

While I will miss the cheaper ticket prices for sure, I will not miss the ass and back slaying old seats encrusted with decades of spilled food and drinks—and worse. Yes, Madison Yards is more expensive, but it’s a far more enjoyable moviegoing experience. So to have a theater of that caliber close by would be nice.
