History
Plans for a ten-screen movie theater were first pitched by Emagine Entertainment site developer John Goldstein in 2008 to be constructed near the intersection of Allen Road and Hayden Drive, but a request to rezone the area from industrial to commercial was rejected by the Woodhaven City Council after complaints from nearby residents that the site was too far off from the city's main commercial district. Emagine Entertainment then settled for a location at the northern edge of the commercial district. The cinema building was given an industrial theme by Goldstein as a result of its location across the Canadian National Dearborn Subdivision railroad line from the Ford Woodhaven Stamping Plant, with a concrete facade and stone and brick patterns on the front. Due to then-current economic conditions, securing $10 million for the project was difficult until the company got support from Citizens Bank of Flint.

The renovation was completed by December 2017. The renovation, however, did not prevent the theater from being unprofitable for AMC Theatres, and AMC Woodhaven Village 10, which had already been temporarily closed at the time due to the, officially closed on September 27, 2020, though the announcement was only confirmed days later by AMC Theatres public relations manager Ryan Noonan.
