Small little multiplex in a small one level mall. Been closed for quite awhile. The marquee is still in the front of the mall, but instead of movies playing; the mall is using it to advertise stores in the mall.
Operated by Carmike Cinemas, and located on State Highway 72, the Greenwood Mall Cinemas were most likely closed when Carmike built a 10 or 12 plex right up the road heading west. To be honest, this could be a triple, but I think it had four screens hopefully someone from that area can add or correct this if need be.

Highway 72 dosen’t locate the mall. The mall is now called Crosscreek Mall.
Anyone have more info or photos?
Thanks Bob,Guess they were trying to facelift the old Mall,hence the name change.Hwy 72 should put you right by the mall it is the way I go to 1-26 bypassing Columbia.
Thanks Chuck.I saw the Apollo 1 and 2 I think years ago.Think it was located on a big Hill.
Apollo 1 and 2 is now a car dealership. They closed sometime after Cinema 10 opened in 2000. Cinema has been Dickinson since 2004.
The mall now has a new computer operated sign in front and got rid of the old theater sign.
Carmike Cinema closed at the mall in Summer 2000. The old location was torn down and is now parking for Sykes employees.
thanks James,that old marquee was there longer than the Theatres.
The Apollo ½ and Cross Creek Cinemas were part of the Consolidated Theatres chain, definitely in the 1980’s and before. Carmike bought most of Consolidated’s screens in 1989, is how they acquired them.
Thanks GMNASH.Any info on Downtown Theatres in Greenwood?
You are welcome Mike. That marque stayed up for over 3 years after the theater closed and was finally changed in late 2009.
The 10 Screen Theater up the Bypass became REI Cinemas in June 2011 again and we are glad. I wish they would put that on here.
I only saw a few movies at the mall. I remember you had to buy tickets for Passion of the Christ days in advance. Runaway Jury was fuzzy through the whole movie.
This cinema did not close in 2000, it closed in 2005 or 2006. I worked at this cinema as a minimum-wage grunt in 2004. I remember watching the test showings of the Passion of the Christ and Return of the King. I remember splicing the films! The film machines were dinosaurs! There’s a reason this cinema shut down. Everything was too old. I loved working there though. I remember climbing that dangerous marquee and almost falling during a rainstorm! Good memories…
