The articles suggest that Cinemark opened this theatre in 1989, as a discount theatre.
The Tulsa Movies 8 was not a second run theatre at first. It was actually one of the first multi-plexes that brought DTS and other advanced sound to movie goers. City Slickers, Cutthroat Island, Maverick and more played their first runs there.
Cinemark took it over in the late 90s, I think 1997 perhaps? Before the AMC 20 opened off of Yale, thus replacing the Southroads and the Annex 7, the Movies 8 was where to see independent and art house films.
Despite becoming a second run multiplex, many independent features would come and go, from The Midnight Meat Train, to Bottle Shock and more.
In the end, it was a pretty trashy joint. nothing was cared for or repaired.
