: : Was this mall written as Monmouth Mall in Red Bank, and if it was, why was it not shot there? The interior even looks like Monmouth Mall.
: not quite sure what you mean by "written as" but it was filmed in Minnesota because it was cheaper. The mall that they shot it in is very close to the Mall of America so the mall was pretty much dead. Most of the people walking around in the background of Mallrats are actually shoppers. Since the filming of the movie, I believe the mall has been torn down. Or perhaps that was the dirt mall, I'm not sure which one.
I just watched Mallrats DVD tonite with commentary
It was the dirt mall that was torn down, and that was in NJ.
Kevin said that it was some theatre now.
I can't remember, but I think that the Eden Prairie Mall is closed
