AMC has about 950 theaters and 10,500 screens across the world, according to its website, 25 in New Jersey, not including the Toms River theater.

While the company has upgraded a number of its theaters and touts its innovations on its website, including dine-in theaters, the Seacourt theater has remained much the same over its 32 years of operation. That remained true even after Marquee Cinemas opened in June 2007 on Route 37 west, offering recliners and all-digital projection.
