Carmike has never impressed me from the theatres I have seen up close.But,I know it is a different time we live in.

Thaks for the article, in the case of the mall owners wanting space to expand for Dillards maybe Carmike had no word in the theatre closing.

This theater closed and was demolished in 2000 to make way for the Dillard’s wing in the mall. I miss this theater. I saw so many movies there as a kid.

Stewart & Everett opened The Independence Mall Cinema 1-2-3 on or about April 4, 1980. Phil Pierce was the City Manager in Wilmington for “S & E” at the time. This information comes from Stewart & Everett’s “Showmanship” newsletter dated April 4, 1980 (page 5).
