Located in Fayetteville, the Cross Creek Mall Cinemas was one of the many of the General Cimema chain owned and operated in North Carolina.
This was the third GC theatre to open in the state and the first in the greater Fayetteville/Ft. Bragg area.
The other theatres that General Cinema owned and operated were in Charlotte,
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and later on in Raleigh.

Opened in 1975 as one of the first General Cinema Theatres to operate in the greater Cumberland County area. One of the first triplex theatres in the Fayetteville area.
Excellent history of General Cinema Theatres operating in the greater Cumberland County/Fayetteville/Fort Bragg area which also includes the Cross Pointe Center Cinemas as well…..

I remember the Cross Creek Mall Cinema very well indeed. During my summer 1981 six week stint at Fort Bragg I often escaped to the Mall to enjoy a movie in air-conditioned comfort. At the time the Cross Creek Mall Cinema, and its neighbor at the Westwood Plaza, were the most modern movie theaters in the area. The first film I saw there was SUPERMAN II. No matter how corny you judge the second installment of the Christopher Reeves Superman franchise, it was absolute heaven to enjoy the film in a climate controled auditorium after the first week of exhausting Army training. Soon afterward I was back in the same auditorium for Mel Brooks' HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
At that time the Cross Creek Mall was, more or less, all by itself astride the All American Highway. A short few years later the area around Mall was awash in a sea of retail stores and fast food restaurants.
In the mid 1980’s I was back at Fort Bragg and made it to the Cross Creek to see John Candy in ARMED AND DANGEROUS. I remember at that time there was a large gaudy display in front of the theater advertising HOWARD THE DUCK.
Unfortunately the Cross Creek Cinema became a victim of General Cinemas' bankruptcy and ultimate collapse.
