Cineplex Odeon opens theaters at Southlake Festival in Morrow At the new Southlake Festival theater in Morrow, Jerry Bulger’s company, Cineplex Odeon Corp. of Toronto, furnishes real butter for the popcorn, clean restrooms and lobbies, Italian marble floors and soft green, British pure wool carpeting in the lobbies, and Dolby sound systems in four of the six auditoriums. The Morrow cinema and another Cineplex theater opened simultaneously last week. It and the Cineplex Odeon LaGrange Six Cinemas were the second and third new Cineplex Odeon…
This theater actually stayed open for while after AMC Southlake 24 opened. It quickly changed to a dollar house but then closed not long after that.

This was a nice theater. I was impressed with the art-deco interior. This place tried to make a go as a dollar house after Southlake 24 opened. Unfortunately it did not work. Anything was better than the GCC Southlake III up the street.
I was the manager of this location for a good while during the mid to late 90’s. I loved working there and I still look back on the time I spent there as the best experience I have ever had at a job. Not because of the super-cheap Carmike Cinemas that bought the place out after Cineplex Odeon sold, mind you, but because of the people I met there and the fun times we shared. I really miss that old building as well as that time in my life. It really was a very nice location with marble floors, velvet curtains over the screens, etc. It’s too bad that the AMC 24 came along, but it was just a sign of the times.
