AMC Dine-In Kabuki 8, Movie theater in Japan Center, San Francisco, US
AMC Dine-In Kabuki 8 is a multiplex cinema in Japan Town featuring eight screens and seating for approximately 1,400 visitors across its theaters. The screens vary in size and are designed to accommodate different types of film presentations.
The cinema opened in 1968 and changed hands several times, including a period under Sundance Cinemas, before joining the AMC Theatres chain. The venue evolved from a single performance space into the modern multiplex complex it is today.
This cinema serves as a key venue for the San Francisco International Film Festival, showcasing both mainstream and independent films. The space draws film enthusiasts who appreciate the variety of productions offered throughout the year.
Visitors can order from a full dining menu and pick up meals before heading to their theater. This allows patrons to enjoy food and movies in one location without interruptions during the screening.
The largest screen was originally built to host live performances, with additional cinema spaces added around this central hall. This unusual layout gives the venue a distinctive character from its architectural origins.
