The Muskogee Cinema Four took the place of the Muskogee Twin Cinema. The theatre was built behind the Curts Mall, next to a grocery store. The theatre opened in June of 1983 with “Return of the Jedi”, “Porky’s 2: The Next Day”, “Superman 3”, and “Twilight Zone: The Movie”. The theatre was Muskogee’s first multi-plex, it was owned and managed by the Leake family.
The theatre was sold to Carmike Cinemas in late-1986, who later turned the four-plex into a 99 cent discount house and let the nice multi-plex run down. The theatre was reopened in 1994-1995 under the name Fox Cinema 4. The former theater now houses an office building.

The address for the Muskogee Cinema 4, was 2348 E. Shawnee, Muskogee, Ok.
Seems like this should be listed as the Fox Cinema Four since that was the last name the theatre had while it was open.

I agree with Chuck’s 10-31-04 comment about this name listing.

I really think a theatre should have the previous name and the current name listed.It makes me sick to see Columbia Square Cinemas listed when I spent close to four years there as Columbia 1 and 2 Theatres.ABC THEATRES did not want it to be called a “cinema”,But theatres are sold.I just think the old name is just as important if not more so.The time Columbia Sq.Cinemas came into being it was a lousy dollar house!
What does the Columbia Square Cinemas have to do with this page on the Fox Cinema Four?
I was just giving an example about theatres changing their names.I feel all the names should be listed like HENDERSONVILLE DRIVE-in was Changed to HENDERSONVILLE OUTDOOR CINEMA. That is all.You guys were dicussing the two names of the Fox Cinemas.I felt different.
The names of this theatre are listed in the header, we were just saying that it should be listed with the name that it last operated under.
Chuck 1231. I guess you are right it is just that i have seen theatres open as a twin or a quad and close something entirely different.I guess it messes with my personal History.It is lost.
