UA concentrated its 1994-1997 growth with 9-to-11 screen builds that were more destination theaters then the generic, neighborhood 8-plexes that it had built in the early to mid-1990s. United Artists stepped up with a smaller-sized concept theater that would serve as a blueprint for its expansion within DFW over the next several years. AMC walked away from the 20-screen Lewisville project leaving an opening for another operator to build a megalplex in that spot. In May of 1993, AMC turned its attention to a 24-screen AMC Stemmons Crossroads project that would become the game-changing AMC Grand 24 opening in 1995. So in January 1993, AMC announced an exterior multiplex across the highway down from Corporate Drive that would be a 48,000 sqaure feet 20-screen multiplex the likes of which the DFW area hand’t seen. Because the shopping complex drew people from a wide circle including Lewisville, Flower Mound, Carrollton, Coppell, Lake Dallas, Corinth and Highland Village, there was room for another theater. When Vista Ridge Mall opened in 1989, Lewisville received its second 10-plus screen theater with Cinemark Theater’s Vista Ridge 12 inside the mall. I will never go there again and prior to this I was going at least twice a month.The Studio Movie Grill Lewisville was originally going to be AMC’s first 20-screen super-megaplex. It’s bad enough I missed parts of the movie each time I had to go seek them about about the check. Now I have to hope the second charge drops off, otherwise I’ll have to go back to that theater to hope they fix it. Once for what I owe and the other charge is what the bill would be split 50/50. To add insult to injury they charged my card twice. It left me with the feeling of being spit in the face with how horribly I was treated. I had to seek out a manager and then when I was given my check the manager was abrupt and apologized “ about your wait “ as he walked off. We sat there thru the end of the credits waiting for the fixed checks. The third time he just split it down the middle. The first two times didn’t have the check split at all. Before the end of the movie they brought the check three times. His response was “I already placed the order if I place it on one card I can split it later”. Our server assumed we ( 2 people) wanted one check when we placed our order. I would have recommended the Tampa location up until my experience last night.
