The first megaplex installation in the United States served as a junior anchor at Los Angeles' BEVERLY CENTER mall for 28 years. The final features were presented in mid-2010. Following this, the space was fashioned into a (45,000 square foot) Forever 21 store, which opened for business in May 2011.

A present-day Shopping Mall Megaplex is depicted above. It was installed during an early 2000s renovation of Toledo's FRANKLIN PARK MALL. The theater is situated on an upper level, as many of today's mall megaplexes are. The venue was rebannered, by Rave Motion Pictures, in April 2010. This acquisition was just one in the dizzying succession of exhibition company mergers and buyouts that have reshaped the industry over the past 20 years.
