Judging from Google Earth — it looks like the building that WAS at this address was torn down and something new put in its place. Does the shell of the building still stand?
I remember this theater advertising in the Charlotte Observer as the University Place Cinemas (pre-Carmike) and University Place 6 (Carmike). The theater was owned prior to Carmike by Consolidated Theatres (1987-1989). Before 1987 the University Place was co-owned with the Queen Park and Tryon Mall Cinemas.
Yes,very limited parking.
Saw HOME ALONE here and the crowd had a blast. That movie came outta nowhere that Christmas Season and just blew the box office doors down.
Nice theatre over all, but I just remember that it was placed in a real tight spot in the middle of a very busy shopping center, and that parking was a nightmare and a half, and just getting into the shopping center was also a pain. This was before the whole area was developed into retail hell.
I have some in front of the screen if Nick wants to put them on.Funny thing,when we took pictures we always got in the picture.We never thought anyone else even cared about closed theatres,had we known so,maybe we would have kept our ugly mugs out of the shot.LOL.
Thanks for posting Nick.

I SAW the Jet UaGirl wrote about in the intro.Think i even took a picture.That was a nice section of Charlotte in those days.
You go Dawg!!
You said it all CARMIKE.no business in a large city.
Got to visit the UNIVERSITY 6 Cinemas after it was gutted.Back Exit door was open and I went in with Nick to Explore.Nothing really to see.took a few pictures and left. As mentioned above,, in a beautiful location for Charlotte.
I think that prior to Carmike taking over this theatre in 1995 it was under the Consolidated Theatres operations. Carmike operated from 1995 thru 2000.
University Place was owned and operated by Carmike Cinemas. Carmike also operated other theatres in the Charlotte area: The Capri and Town and Country Cinemas.
University Place was never operated under General Cinema Theatres.
General Cinema Theatres owned and operated:
Charlottetowne Mall Cinemas I-II-III-IV
Eastland Mall Cinemas I-II-III
Southpark Mall Cinemas I-II-III(aka Southpark Mall Cinemas 1 & 2)
Tower Place Cinemas Eight
University Place was never operated by General Cinemas.
This theater opened in April ‘86.
I show the address for the University 6 Cinemas as 8925 JM Keynes Dr., Charlotte, NC.
