Briarcliff Cinemas

The Briarcliff Theatres opened in the early-to-mid-1970’s as either a twin cinema or a three screen cinema that was owned and operated under Stewart and Everett Theatres. Located in North Myrtle Beach off North Kings Highway. In 1986, Carmike Cinemas acquired the Briarcliff after Stewart and Everett Theatres ceased operations. By the late-1980’s the theatre expanded to six screens, and by the early-to-mid 1990’s, it expanded to 10 screens, making it a megaplex theatre when it was acquired by Carmike Cinemas.

On Thursday August 18, 2005, Carmike closed the Briarcliff Cinemas when it was rebuilt as a 12-screen megaplex theatre in the same location, renamed the Colonial 12, that officially opened in 2006.
