The Camelot Theatre open in 1967 as a single screen theatre that was owned and operated under Wilbey-Kincey Theatres. By the early-to-mid-1970’s it was a twin cinema (renamed the Camelot 1 & 2) when ABC Southeastern Theatres acquired operations in 1975, and it was soon tripled. Later on it came under Plitt Southern Theatres until the mid-1980’s.
The Camelot Theatre was acquired by Carmike Cinemas until its closing in 1990.

This is one of the ABC THEATRES in this town.I am pretty sure there was another and it was lucky enough i think to have played “JAWS” first run.
I worked for ABC THEATRES in Augusta,and got to know a manager in that town and he put me and another ABC THEATRE employee up for a couple of days to save on Hotel rates.
Strange thing is I want to think his name was RAYMOND or RICHARD,but i can’t remember. He was a great guy.like most Theatre guys.
By 1977 this was a triplex.
The only movie I saw there was “The Living Daylights” in 1987. The #1 auditorium had a curved screen and Dolby Stereo. Stereo was a big deal for Myrtle Beach at the time. It is now a restaurant complex.
