The new theatre boasts state-of-the-art technology and features AMC's signature design elements: high mural celebrity graphics and AMC's exclusive director's series photographs adorn the walls, terrazzo flooring inlaid with movie quotes invites guests into the lobby area and a modern-day rendition of the red carpet directs guests to their seats. Designed to celebrate the entertainment experience in a fun, spectacular and comfortable environment, AMC Chesterfield 14 will open with the highly anticipated film Ice Age: The Meltdown, along with a full slate of other popular releases.

"Westfield Chesterfield Mall has been a great partner in creating a world-class entertainment facility with a complementary tenant mix that will draw moviegoers from miles around."
