My friend used to be the GM there. The motors were still installed but unused after the renovation. She said she'd forward my complaint about it to her tech guy, but I never heard anything. It is frustrating for sure. I don't mind pillar boxes quite as much as letterboxes though. They have turned the masking curtains back on in the larger scope houses at the Columbiana Grande which is nice because before they did this, they were showing scope letterboxed on the smaller flat screens and it killed me to see all the negative space around the screen.
It's honestly a shame that AMC removed the masking when they renovated this theater after getting it from Carmike...

The AMC Theaters is 4 stories high next to the 6-story shopping center mall.
