CSW Theatres launched the Cine 2 on June 1, 1974 with “Papillon” in Screen 1 and “The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad” in Screen 2. It was later operated by Texas Cinema Corporation, then Plitt, then Cineplex Odeon (kept the Plitt name), and finally Cinemark (who took over the theater alongside several other Plitt theaters in the area on May 22, 1987).

Cinemark closed the theater on May 29, 1990 with “Hard To Kill” in Screen 1 and “First Power” in Screen 2, and was demolished immediately to make way for Cinemark’s own Cinema 8.

A 1973 topo view shows no drive-in being listed, meaning that it was already gone by the early-1970s.
