A third screen was added by mid-1977 when the second auditorium was actually split down the middle,creating two shoebox auditoriums with smaller screens.
THE BORDEAUX CINEMAS Grand Opening from March 30, 1974.
It’s Premiere Attraction for March 30,1974? SUPERDAD
What a horrible way to open a brand new theatre. The WORST of the live-action Disney flicks of the 1970’s starring none other than Bob Crane. Yes,that Bob Crane of Hogan’s Heroes fame. It was on a double bill with a Disney cartoon starring Chip and Dale.
SUPERDAD was gone within a week,and a better decent movie ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE took it’s place.
From the Fayetteville Observer ad from September 11,1979: THE BORDEAUX CINEMAS will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday For the Installation of Eastern North Carolina’s only 70MM,Dobly Stereo,Six Track, Magnetic Sound System. A Fantastic “Sight & Sound” Experience!!
This was installed for the Fayetteville opening of several films that got first 70MM billing at this theatre. Among them “THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK”.
A picture of the theater from 1985 can be seen here.
The Bordeaux Cinema was still operating in 1996, as it was listed in Carmike’s newspaper ad under the newly opened Carmike Cinemas 12 (formerly the Westwood 6). An article in the Fayetteville Observer regarding the Carmike 12’s opening mentioned that the Bordeaux Cinema was to be replaced by a seven-screen theater; appparently the Wynnsong 7 replaced the Bordeaux.
You do not need to submit a new page just because you want some information corrected. Either submit the corrected info in a comment on the existing page or submit corrections privately to the editor so that the original page can be updated.
There is still incorrect information on this new page, raysson. Are you going to submit yet another new page just to get another round of corrections seen???
Okay, so do we now have a new-and-improved introductory write-up? Not in my opinion. The timeframe of when the theater became a triplex still isn’t right, and the intro isn’t all that well-written to begin with. For all of the chatter about how great an editor we have, this page’s intro is an example of how poorly-edited (or not edited at all?) many of the pages here actually appear. There is redundancy, numerous misspelled words, and the all-too-common misuse of apostrophes.
At least by deleting the older Bordeaux page you’ve eliminated the outrageous comments made by that jerk “Element02.” I suppose it’s too easy to be a jerk when you can hide behind a made-up screen name.
thanks raysson.
Coate:
The previous page for the Bordeaux Cinemas were incorrect. I have found the information for it’s grand opening and have reposted it for this site with new information. I have the ads for the grand opening of this theatre. It’s on my thumb drive if you’re want to see it,just let me know and I’ll sent it to you().
The previous page had the incorrect information and what I found that this theater did not open in either 1966 NOR it did not open 1969. It originally opened in 1974.
Why was the Bordeaux’s previous page deleted and this new one created???
The theatre was located on the Boone Trail Extension Across from Owen Drive and the Bordeaux Shopping Center.
The Bordeaux Shopping Center itself opened its doors to the public in 1963 as Fayetteville’s largest shopping plaza. The movie theater didn’t opened until March 30,1974.
