Apostcardlife: Carmike demolished the old six-screen theater on the site probably late 1995 or early 1996. I’m not sure because I only spent two weeks in Fayetteville helping remodel the TJ Maxx store at Cross Pointe Center (next to GCC Cross Pointe 6 Cinemas). Also, I don’t recall Martin buying any of its theaters off of Stewart-Everett or if S&E had any theaters in Fayetteville other than the Carolina downtown; I recall that Martin and S&E tended to stay out of each other’s territories except possibly Winston-Salem.
I am confused how Carmike “acquired [Westwood] in the mid-1980s” from Martin Theatres (which Carmike actually bought from Fuqua Industries via a leveraged buyout in February 1982), the Westwood then reached its “demise” in the mid-1990s, and then was “taken over by Carmike” in 1996-? How did Carmike acquire it in 1982 and take it over in 1996? What does “demise” mean here? Did Carmike close it in the mid-1990s and then reopen it in 1996-? NighHawk1, if you were there for the ‘96 grand opening, I assume you might have some light you can shed on this, esp. if you happened to be there in the just-prior mid-1990s also—? For example, I know in Huntsville, AL, Carmike closed one of its theaters in the '90s only to reopen another theater not far from it just a few years later… Any knowledge/clarification here? Does anyone know how many seats per screen the theater had prior to its initial “demise”? I think that could potentially explain Carmike “letting” it close before reopening it…?
I was working for TJMaxx back in 1996 when they asked me to help with the remodeling of their store in Cross Pointe Center (my home store was Greenville, NC). The first week I went to Fayetteville was the same week that the Carmike 12 at Westwood had its grand opening. The night before they officially opened the 12-plex, Carmike had a 10-cent preview night featuring second-run films. (I had to work graveyard shift at TJ’s so I couldn’t go to the dime shows.) Two years later, Carmike repeated the idea when they opened their 12-plex quasi-stadium cinema in Greenville, NC (same name), except in Greenville Carmike charged a dollar for the preview night. The Fayetteville Carmike 12 was on the back side of Westwood Shopping Center, facing the All-American Freeway. I have corrected the Google photo so that the Carmike 12 is visible.
Hey Raysson,
Look under the website (http://movie-theatre.org).
The Carmike Cinemas 12 in Fayetteville did not close. However,it remains open under Carmike.
