This theater was actually relocated from another Macon Cinema judging by aerial views and newspaper articles. Unfortunately there is not a lot of information I can find about the current location, but there is some info I can find about the original location.

The original Macon Cinema opened as a single-screener in 1987 as a $1 first-run house. It was first operated by B&B and the theater was owned by the husbands and wives of Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Bagby, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bills, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bagby. Macon resident Barbara Graham later joined as the manager of the theater in August 1988. The theater’s policy was updated to a $2 house in 1989.

The original Macon Cinema closed in the early-2000s when it was relocated to its current site and the theater in its current building opened its doors as a triplex around the same time.

Macon Cinema is actually NORTH of Macon on Highway 63.

The Royal Theatre is a completely separate building downtown which is currently used as a venue for live theatre and community events.
