If memory serves me correctly, this theater was part of the shopping center that has the Kroger.

Went to this theater once when I was twelve I believe. I saw “Treasure of the 4 Crowns” in 3D. It was one of those early ‘80’s 3D exploitation flicks, and a “Raiders of the Lost Ark” ripoff. Not bad 3D though as I remember. Anyway, I believe it was split and taken over by GTC? Thought I could remember it still being open as I worked on Hwy 278 up until '87. Could be wrong though.

The Newton Cinema launched June 7, 1974 with “Papillion.” It appears to have closed late in 1989.

I recall seeing ads in the AJC for it in the late 90’s/early 2000’s
