The 54-year-old mall is now so empty, it's become a magnet for at least seven films and TV shows in the past year including HBO's "Watchmen" and "Zombieland 2," according to the DeKalb Entertainment Commission. Nearly half the mall is empty and a big redevelopment project on the land recently fell through. Its biggest anchors are Marshall's, Burlington and AMC Theatres. Macy's left in 2016.
