Not to be confused with an earlier Northwoods Cinema that was attached to the Northwoods Mall, this free-standing theater opened under the management of General Cinema in 1985, and later became an AMC operation. AMC closed it in 2008. It was then acquired by Southeast Cinema Entertainment which gave it a thorough renovation and reopened it in the fall of 2010.
Southeast plans to add five additional screens by early-2011.

Google earth’s historical images shows the lot is empty in 1989. Is Google wrong? From the shape of the theatre could it have been built closer to 1990?
I’m fairly certain that the cinema was constructed in 1985. This was when a major expansion took place at the mall and a new wing added that included a 4th anchor store, Thalhimers (now Dillard’s). The cinema building was added directly across from the Thalhimers building. If it didn’t open in 1985, it opened shortly thereafter and was definitely open prior to 1989.
According to General Cinemas Grand Opening ad it opened on May 25th, 1990. Opening features was “Driving Miss Daisey”, “Cadillac Man”, “Pretty Woman”, “Fire Birds”, “Back to the Futures III”, “Chattahocee”.
