Consolidated Theatres opened the Cinema South simaltaniously with the Cinema North in July 1976. Carmike took over operations in 1989 and operated it until it closed in July of 1998. It later became a night club called the Outer Limit. The theater was demolished in late 2004 and a supermarket was built on the site.

The recently razed Outer Limit resided at 3758 Nolensville Rd. Pretty sure this is the corret address in that club strongly resembled a 70s style twin theatre.

One and the same although it was demolished late last year and an Aldi's grocery store now stads in its place.

Fondly remember movies seen here during the '70's - Jaws and the Rocky Horror Picture Show (some 50 times) among others - but couldn't recall a single detail of the building. Always liked this one better than the Cinema North for some reason, but again, don't remember why.

Cinema South was a sparse complex, very 1970s. It was the antithesis of a movie palace. The exterior was white stucco with a lackluster marquee. The interior was about as exciting as a Holiday Inn of the same period. The walls were so thin that you could sometimes here the movie playing in the next auditorium.

If it was still standing today, it would be grim reminder of how far movie theaters had fallen at that time.

Here is an image of Cinema South 4 I found on another theater website. http://www.cinematour.com/location/usa/tn/ckesouth.jpg

I remember going to this theater with my big sister when what we wanted to see wasn't playing at the much nicer Carmike 6, less than 2 miles away at Harding Mall. This theater was very bland and I remember going to see Beavis and Butthead at this theater not long before it closed and there were three kids in the back of the auditorium smoking pot.
Nice place.

I remember this theater vaguely from a visit home with the folks back in the 80s. Went there to see "Mommie Dearest." Strangest thing, though - considering Nashville's intolerance for such things - one of the theaters had porn side by side with mainstream releases - "Talk Dirty to Me" was playing there when I went if I'm not mistaken. Odd to see a suburban movie house showing adult films along side other features. Maybe it was an attempt to drum up biz.
