A look at the boxoffice from a 2024 Facebook post by The Grand Marquee - Magnificent Movie Houses of Yesteryear and Today. A history of the complex from their post:
"Originally opened on August 17, 1984, as the Marina Pacifica 6, this AMC theatre underwent a $7 million renovation and opened on January 10, 1997, as the Marina Pacifica 12. The new stadium auditoriums were carved out of a section of the shopping center formerly occupied by a Marie Callender’s restaurant. Helping to premiere the theatre was Madonna’s version of 'Evita.'
"The Long Beach Press-Telegram said that the six stadiums gave 1,154 more
seats making a total of 2,686. They noted that the largest auditorium
has 400 seats. The old non-stadium side of the complex, which is in a
separate building from the stadiums, with the box office in between,
also under-went a remodeling. Both sides of the theatre offer separate
main lobbies, concession, restroom, and projection facilities."

Cinema Treasures page on the Marina Pacifica. The
Cinema Tour page has six 2006 photos from the Adam Martin collection.
