The Northpark Cinema 4 was originally operated by Ferris Shanbour. It was not built be Cinemark. Shanbour operated numerous theatres in OKC during the late 50’s, 60’s and 70’s including rennovating the Criterion downtown, the Tower, the Plaza and building the Park Lane, Northpark and Hillcrest Drive-In
It is a Star Plex discount house.

It is currently operated by Starplex Cinemas/Interstate. The two companies merged a little over a year ago; officially, the Starplex name is used, but the signage probably won’t be changed.
I believe this theatre was originally a Cinemark. In addition to the theatre’s decor being in the Cinemark style, Interstate used to be a subdivision of Cinemark. Basically, Interstate was Cinemark’s discount theatre branch. After Cinemark was sold, Interstate broke off as a seperate company and later merged with Starplex.
Opened by Interstate Theatres in 1973 as the North Park Mall 4, in 1992 three more auditoriums were added and it became the North Park Mall 7. It is now operated as a discount house, I believe by Silver Screens from what I found.
Who ran this before Interstate/Star Plex?
This is a second-run theatre. It’s inside North Park Mall. However, the roof has gone bad and it’s moldy. The first two screens are ok, but the rest will really bother anybody who suffers for allergies.
