The Kennedy Mall opened as a twin by General Cinemas in the early-1970’s. During the late-1980’s it was under the Excellence Theatre banner and was expanded to a six screen.

In the early-1990’s Carmike Cinemas took over operations featuring first run features. During 2004 when the expansion and remodel of the Cinema Center 8 was completed the Kennedy Mall became a discount house. The theatre was closed in May 2007, but soon re-opened as a first run cinema under independent management.

I can’t come up with any show times, so it may in fact be closed.

Exactly. In May of 2007, Carmike Cinemas decided not to renew its lease, and closed the Kennedy Mall Cinema 6.

Kennedy Mall has been given new life. The theater has been remodeled into Mindframe Theaters, which will focus on showing smaller, independent and foreign films as well as playing some old classics as well. I really hope they’re successful.

This entry needs to be updated with the name change and the web site added. According to the web site the theatre is playing main-stream features.
