Probably useless at this point but lyle is right, its the las olas, Frank theaters ran it for a bit and just abandoned at the end of 2014. I forgot when regal dumped it onto sunrise, but it was a while back as well. Since sunrise took over it really went downhill, the escalator stopped working and just wasn't ever repaired until it closed (I guess since it works as stairs). At one point frank theaters stopped running movies in the bottom auditoriums (not sure why either).
I've seen a few movies here as it is near where my dad lived, the train tracks were the least of the issue and I can't recall ever having an issue with it sounding, there are some bars around the area as well, but it really is more of a younger nightlife crowd, not the movie going crowd. You had to pay to park as well, though the theater did validate it at some point (never had to park there, just walked).
They probably got in through a roof access hatch or exit door though, since it is part of a "mall/strip" I figure the LL just continues to keep electric hooked up. Doubtful another theater will ever go in there, but I think its just too much of a hassle to tear down.
Its by the broward center for the performing arts and Museum of Discovery and Science (which has a real IMAX), the neighborhood is wealthy on one side but 5 minute drive and you're in a poor area of town. Can't imagine anything would really draw people to a theater in the area.
