Mike, You may be right. Main Street 6 originally opened with 6 screens but if I recall correctly I remember reading somewhere that when Carmike assumed ownership they shut down one screen but not sure why.

Strange shutting a screen down,but i have the impression Carmike does not put a lot money in a location.

Stumbled upon the building today, not sure if they are having permit or construction problems, but a newspaper article stated a May opening and it’s now July and there is no front on the building.
Unless there is substantial work that has been done to the theaters, there is no lobby, or front wall, indicating that at this point it probably won’t open till closer to Thanksgiving. Chuck v

Doesn’t look good at this point, the new owners of the theater also run the Channelside Cinemas theater, which just filed for bankruptcy.

Talked with the owner last week, and the Restaurant/Bar next door should be open the 8th. They are having Issues with the landlords insurance companies that are dragging their feet with repairs from roof damage and other water related issues. All the A/C and roof has been replaced, and the equipment is in warehouse storage waiting to go in once the insurance adjusters pay out on the claims at hand. Expected opening date is ASAP. Chuck

Has anything happened with this theater. Is it open or did the whole deal fall through?

Still not open. They changed the name of the new theater, but the old sign is still on the front of the theater.

Ya I am not sure what is happening I was told that everything is in storage and ready to go in, but construction delays and the landlord are holding it back.. All I can say is RENT CREDIT and I hope he’s not paying anything right now either if he is waiting for the owner of the building and dealing with insurance companies. Opening after X-Mas is death till summer! Chuck

Was by this theater a few weeks ago, which has changed names due to a copyright issue, and there seems to be forward progress.

It looks like they have re-done the drywall, and they were pouring concrete for the stadium seating, it also looked like they were working on the front of the building.

I have emailed the owner but did not get a responce as to a new opening date, but I WOULD ASSUME that they will bust a$$ to get it open by Memorial Day, which is obtainable if the issues have been resolved and they are in a forward motion!
