Welcome to Amc Interchange 30! Opened to the public on May 7th, 1999, the theatre was the largest of its kind in Canada. The 30-plex featured 3 concession Stands and 30 separate theatres, some of varying sizes. The theatre was initially successful but had a steady decline over the years to come.
By 2011 the theatre was in trouble. The 30-plex was much too big and it was rare that a theatre would ever reach full capacity. Customers complained of poor sound quality, that a full wing of theatres was permanently closed, and that it was overpriced. The nail in the coffin for the theatre was when they stopped playing new release movies and only played second-run films. The colossus Cineplex Minutes down the road is believed to be the main cause of Amc Vaughns's downfall. Cineplex had a more intriguing building drawing in customers, they always had the newest movie releases, and they were simply a better value.
AMC Interchange closed its doors forever on May 8, 2014, just 15 years after opening. The building sat empty for another 7 years until demolition started in October.

I have very fond memories of this theatre. Watched many films here and while the popcorn wasn't the greatest and the movies were a bit older, it was always quieter than most theatres, which was a nice change. I'll miss AMC and I may be wrong in saying this, the old drive where Colossus now sits was demolish din the 90s, I believe Colossus is the next to go eventually. Its my opinion movie theatres are all on borrowed time. Anyway, loved the video Noah and congrats on your 50k subs. Well deserved my friend.
So sad that this theater has to be destroyed. I never realized how big these
movie theaters are. Thank you for showing us. Keep them coming Noah.
The way this theater complex is setup appears like the one in our town, except it had 24 auditoriums instead of 30. AMC was having trouble with the business there. It got sold to Regal and they removed 10 of the auditoriums.
Good job. It takes balls to go to an abandoned place by yourself. I would be too scared to do it by myself.
Some theaters closed because the independent owner couldn't afford to go to digital projectors. One was saved in NJ when someone took over the lease. Then installed new projectors that I heard made the community happy.
I’ll bet those projector slide trays were up in the projector room to show the ads in between films. Kind of weird that they would use such old technology though. 🤔
That building was massive! Really cool explore Noah! Congrats on the 50K subscribers and I wish you at least 50,000 more!!!
Congratulations on 50k!!! That is sooo cool!!! Seeing this old theater is just so sad. You can imagine all the little groups of people with their popcorn & drinks heading down those halls…. I always find these abandoned places sad. 🤷🏼♀️🤪
Thank you for the tour of this closed down AMC failed 30 screen multiplex. You narrated very well, and described the reason behind the demise of this multiplex movie theater. It does not matter if you have 100 screens, they can all be poor quality. Their motive was to impress the public with how many screens they can put under one roof, not to have a proper film presentation. I live in the Dallas area and we had AMC THE GRAND 24, AMC MESQUITE 30, and AMC GRAPEVINE 30. When these massive theatres first opened, they had lots of patrons, but fast forward 5 plus years later, these theatres also declined in attendance. I thought, at the time they first opened, that these AMC multi screen theatres would fail in the long run, and they did, just as this video proved. American Multi Cinema, or AMC, really made MANY bad decisions, like overspending, poorly designed auditoriums and sound systems, not teaching the projection booth operators proper habits like cleaning projectors between shows, being careful when threading the film onto the projectors and not scratching film in the process. The employees who ran the projectors were not projectionists, they were operators. I don't put down anyone who was an employee at this major theater chain, but I do not have much respect for AMC as a company. AMC Theatres is still overpriced, and I go to Cinemark instead with no regrets, which is one of their biggest competitors. AMC is probably still in trouble today. By the way AMERICAN MULTI CINEMA got their name when they opened the first very small movie theater with more than one screen, it had 2 screens, the first MULTIPLEX, technically speaking.
Awesome explore, it brought back memories of the 80s when I worked at a theater, especially the projector room. I saw a winding table along with the film platters. Very cool and thank you. 😊 congrats on 50k, very awesome 👌
Sad to see film on the ground. Could be worth something or nice to add to your own home theatre with actual film on the walls. Oh well. So cool you worked there.
30 screens....that's crazy. Way too massive for any market
Is it weird I still think of movie rental stores all the time? Like every other day. 😝
Happy for you hitting the 50k mark Noah! You're one of the channels I've been subscribed to longest, I've always enjoyed getting cozy and watching the Forgotten Homes series. Ep 35 has always stuck with me for some reason, I'd love to know the back story to that family!!
Congratulations! You are one of the 3 Contest winners! Please Email me at noah.nowherebiz@gmail.com so I can get your information to send you your prize!
If you look at the landscape of the area in 2023 going into 2024 there have been a few stores that have been there and are now gone. One of the problems/short sidedness of AMC was that they tried to compete with Cineplex at that location until they eventually pulled out of Canada completely. Before Colossus was even built the area was always used for movies up until 1997 when the 400 Drive-in existed and the new theater was built starting in 1998, opened in 1999. One of the best things that AMC had was the AM watchers club on weekends where it was discounted prices until 12 p.m, as well as bringing some films that were more for those who loved Film Festival selections as well as high profile indie offerings. The other theaters once owned by AMC in the Toronto Area were purchased by Cineplex and are still in full operation. Since Cineplex already had Colossus there was no need for them to purchase Interchange 30 and now sits as a empty lot. Thanks for the video.
What I want to know is, where did all the seats go? What a massive building, it would be so easy to lose someone in a place that size. Specially a date you don't want to be with! Congrats on the 50 Noah 👍🥂
Apparently when the theatre closed they ripped them all out and threw them straight in the garbage. Thanks so much 😊
0:25 I was gonna say, why so large? How many movies do you need to choose from?
Oh how i dont miss the 90s.
Love love love your channel. So nice to see abandoned places in Canada. Much love to you and congratulations on 50K!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Loved this video!! So intriguing. I have been watching you for 2 years now & haven’t missed a video.
Wow, Thanks so much for watching for watching and sticking around 😊
Congratulations Noah! Next stop 100K. Enjoyable explore although I wish there was more stuff left. I love movie paraphernalia. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Congrats on 50K! When you said you were there alone that explained why I wasn't seeing any other explorers. There was a group I watched the other day & I thought you were part of that. I like when you guys go with at least one other person. It makes me feel like you are safer! But, I do not like how they often talk over each others' videos. I love the history you give. (I do not need a T-shirt 🤣)
Thank you for taking the time and care to share all the beautiful abandoned buildings. Congratulations again. Stay safe 😊
I got liminal spaces vibes that's cool and awesome mind blowing too
Awesome video. Sad about so many abandoned malls and theaters recently. Memories.
And it would be a good idea to turn of the ringer on your phone while you film
Congratulations on 50K!! What kodak films were they stacked against the wall, did you check? This was a very interesting walk-through, especially the huge projector room. So many theatres, I can see now why they re-ran old films and went out of business, just too big!
Great Video thanks for showing such a large complex.
congratulations i don't miss any of your videos keep up the good work
I'll wait. How rude to give a thumbs down without seeing the video. 👍❤🇺🇸
Congratulations on 50K subs! I told my partner the other day that you must have graduated from high school by now. LOL You look so young. The theatres full of arm rests are kind of creepy. It reminds of something from Star Wars. If I don't win a T-Shirt, am I able to purchase one. I would love to have one. Thanks so much for putting these videos together.
Thank you so much! Yea I'm not highschool young but I'm 23 haha. The theatre is a bit creepy for sure! I'm working on setting up a merch store so if you don't win you'll hopefully be able to purchase one if you'd like too soon 😊
Can't wait for this. I love your videos and explorations as well as your still shots and pictures you post on Facebook. Have a great day.
So happy for you Noah, and I wish all the best in the future.
I remember the 90s movie theatres stairs is the light up when you walked up them
Thank you great video as always!
That was crazy!
That place was really big!
I bet it was pretty cool when it was new. I’ve never seen a 30 theater place! I hope you are feeling all better and doing well.
Take care and be safe!!
🍀🙏🏽❄️🤖🐉🎃👻⛄️☠️🎈
I still love going to the movies.
Congrats on 50k, 100k here we come!
Congrats on 50K.
I enjoyed this video. Of course I enjoy all of your videos. Congrats on the 50,000 subscribers. Next how about 75,000. Go Noah. Glad you are back doing videos. Good to see you back with Ethan to. You 2 are my favorite Canadian you tubers. You are a very well mannered polite young man. Your parents did right by you. It's a shame so many places are shut down in your area. So many beautiful old and newer homes gone forever. You say the 90s is retro. I feel old. Take care of yourself.
Great adventures! love the channel. I always have loved exploring abandoned places. Your videos allow me to view what I wished I had time to do myself more often.
Congrats on the 50k! What a shame the building is being destroyed instead of finding a way to repurpose it. So much valuable equipment especially in the concessions area left behind that is now useless. I'm sure AMC wrote it off as a loss, but it could have been taken out immediately and sent to other AMC theatres as parts replacements. Also sold to smaller theatres, second runs, donated to schools, events, etc.
Yowza......now that takes me way back (be nice, guys.....I'm giving away my old age lol). I have said it before, but it bears repeating - your videos never disappoint.....thank you so very much for all that you do for us - whatta guy : -)
What a big building 👷♂️. Great explore. Congratulations to you on all of your subscribers 👏❤ Take care 😀👌😊😍💕🙂😀👌😊
Congratulations on your 50k subscribers, been with you for a couple years. That was a great tour of a really large theatre. Would love to show off your shirt in Saskatchewan. Tory & Vanessa
Hey Noah! Congrats on the 50k!!! Great explore! What a *huge* theatre!!
This building is now completely gone. The condo projects are underway and the nearby transit terminal is complete.
Congrats on 50,000! You are awesome. So happy to see you feeling better too!
Congrats 👏 more 50k to come for sure. your videos are great.
Not even a box of milkduds left behind... Very curious who thought *30* theatres were a good idea.
They should had kept it and make a 80s and 90s theme style movie theater with a imax included 😒
Similar to the AMC Veteran’s 24 in Tampa. Just the main entrance/ticket booth is open instead of inclosed like this one.
So sad to see what over building and maybe greed can build and then when no longer needed needs to be tore down. Such a waste of resources.. life goes on and we learn from the past.. hopefully the seats were recycled.. still is similar to what is available today. Thanks for the explore….
Congrats on 50,000, glad you are back to good health. Enjoy watching your vids 😊.
good looking t- shirt, keep the videos coming
Thank for the awesome video 👍
30 scteen theatre. Wow. I did not know they new released that many movies at a time when they showed 1st run. The projectors are nothing now. Digital is the way to go. Could you imagine what just the operating cost of this building g would be. Wow
Congrats on 50k! I knew when I started watching your videos last month this was a channel going places
This was a very colorful building and I love the 90s vibe. I'm excited for the giveaway! 50K is awesome!

The complex, itself, is called a theatre. Each individual "theatre" is referred to as an auditorium. 😉 🥤😎🍿
I swear this is Retro Ricks voice in the beginning!
Congrats on 50k. Great video as always. Keep it going. 😊
I used to be a projectionist and it would get very hot with 6 projectors running.
