AMC Kabuki 8 is a movie theater in the Japan Center complex in San Francisco's Japantown neighborhood.

[2] As part of the original Japan Center mission to showcase Japanese culture, it was the first authentic Kabuki theater in America, designed in a traditional 17th century style with a proscenium, stage entrance/exit ramp, revolving stage, and trap doors.

The theater was designed with dining tables so audiences could eat while watching Kabuki performances.

[3] It has hosted San Francisco's Cherry Blossom Festival activities,[4] is one of a small number of theaters showing performances by the San Francisco Opera,[5] and has screened several films for San Francisco International Film Festival and San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival as recently as 2011.

[6] Formerly the AMC Kabuki Cinema 8, it was acquired by Robert Redford's Sundance Cinemas chain in 2006 as part of an anti-trust agreement allowing AMC to acquire Loews.
