Pacific Theatres has unfortunately closed their business across the country. For this reason, The Americana at Brand and The Grove will not be able to honor previous Pacific Theatres points and rewards.
AMC Theatres is not acquiring the Pacific Theatres business in whole, only The Americana at Brand and The Grove has joined the AMC network at this time. AMC does not have access to any previous data or transaction history to verify gift card values. Due to this, AMC will not be able to accept Pacific Theatre gift cards. AMC only accepted vouchers or discount tickets through November 30, 2021. No Pacific Theatres branded discounts will be accepted at AMC The Americana at Brand 18 or AMC The Grove 14 from December 1, 2021 and forward.
Yes, we’ll offer innovative menu items from our Feature Fare menu. The menu will be simplified to start with as we get everything up and running. However, you can be sure that we’ll be popping our legendary AMC Perfectly Popcorn™ from day one.
No, at this time we will not be reopening with alcohol service at either location. We are working to review licenses and hope to be pouring your favorite adult beverages in the near future.
Our top priority is the health and safety of our guests and crew, we have implemented AMC Safe & Clean ™ policies and procedures, designed with you in mind. AMC is following local and state mandates as well as guidance from the CDC. Our policies have continued to evolve while maintaining a focus on health and safety. On your next theatre visit, you’ll notice that we’ve taken steps to protect your safety by installing MERV 13 air filters, joining Clorox® Safer Today Alliance and implementing thoroughly enhanced cleaning procedures.

You will still be able to buy tickets through Fandango.com, Atom Tickets and at the theatre.
Yes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they will increase. For example, we offer discounts on tickets and food and drinks with our Discount Tuesday program for AMC Stubs members.

As is normal for our industry, AMC periodically evaluates pricing and may make pricing changes based on market conditions, increasing operating costs or when premium formats are introduced.
No major renovations are scheduled at this time. Full theatre renovations are determined on a theatre-by-theatre basis, and we’ll be sure to let you know if your theatre is scheduled for any renovations if and when the time comes.
