Opened by AMC on October 21, 1988, the Sunrise Cinemas at Old Hyde Park Village is a seven screen theater, located in the historic Old Hyde Park district of Tampa by the Bay. The theater has been remodeled and renovated, and features seven screens. It features signature art, foreign, and first-run films. The theater has a cafe lounge area, and a flex space for events. Traditional theater concessions are also here, including popcorn with real butter. The theater also has wine tasting and film festivals from time to time.
The Sunrise Cinemas was closed in around March 2007. It reopened in September 2009 as the Cobb CineBistro Hyde Park Village with 6-screens. In 2017 it was taken over by the Mexican based CMX Cinemas.

This theatre has been closed for almost a year. Please update status
YOu still nedd to update the staus of this theatre to CLOSED.
Current construction is under way to re-open the cinema as a COBB Cinebistro' with 6 auditoriums.. this is a absolute GUT RE-HAB and I suspect that there will be no remenents of it’s former AMC or Madstone Decor, as all exit doors had been re-located on the back walls, and the walls have been moved inside.
I managed this location prior to Sunrise getting booted by developers, as the condos that were to be built are not anymore.
The latest sign I saw was opening in Late Fall 09'
This theater has re-opened as the Cobb CineBistro with six screens as indicated above. Information needs to be updated.

Information needs to be updated. The theater opened was opened by AMC around 1988. It was one of the premier houses in Tampa. They had the exclusive showing of Schindlers LIst and the remake of Cape Fear with Robert DeNIro and Jessica Lange.
This opened on October 21st, 1988. Grand opening ad in the photo section and below
The comment by cvolosin mentioned that one of the many previous operators of this location was Madstone Theaters. They reopened an old GCC 8 in Atlanta, seemed to have plenty of money available to remodel, but no idea of how to actually run a theater. This is the first mention of this odd little company (except for the one in Atlanta) that I have seen on CT and I would be interested to hear anything anyone remembers about them.
