Same in Orlando. The damn lobbies and hallways are so huge and
twisting you need a map. And there are two concession areas. One
serving the back 10 or so screens and another up front servicing
those.
It's diametrically opposed to the first multi-theatres where they'd
take a two screen complex and chop into six smaller venunes.
Locally one that had two screens - one with a large area and
another with a smaller but still decent sized area - split the big
one into 4 and the smaller one into two.
