Revamped AMC Theater Offers New Amenities This Week

Beginning Monday, the AMC Theater at the Vestavia Hills City Center will offer new amenities, including revamped food and drinks service.

VESTAVIA HILLS, AL - Moviegoers will get a new theater experience at the AMC Theater in the Vestavia Hills City Center starting Monday. In addition to the traditional movie theater fare like popcord, candy and sodas, the AMC will now offer dine-in eating, with gourmet food handcrafted in the kitchen and delivered straight to a guest’s seat.

A report by the Vestavia Voice said the renovation work started in April and was done in a phase approach, allowing the theater to stay open during the time it took to complete renovations. Everything is new, including new flooring, new screens, new seats, power recliners with a heating option — not including seating in the Prime theater — and a new sound system.

In addition to the food options available, MacGuffins Bar will soon be open, allowing customers to purchase alcohol and take it into the movie with them. Alcohol can also be purchased at the main concession stands. Beer, wine and premium cocktails will be offered.

Ticket prices vary, with evening prices set at $13 on weekends, with an upcharge for 3D or the new Prime auditorium, the largest auditorium in the theater. The Prime auditorium has 150 seats that have interactive features, such as vibrations and sound enhancements, and both the screen and sound system are enhanced.
