American Automated Theatres Inc. (AATI) of Oklahoma City already had a franchisee for The Movies! Mississippi Mall twin screen theater in town. That franchisee decided to go all in on a four-plex.The Movies! River Ridge Cinema IV opened on August 10, 1984 with “Ghostbusters,” The Karate Kid,“ “Red Dawn” and “Cloak and Dagger.

On February 2, 2000, O'Neil Theatres, Inc. of Slidell, Louisiana - the franchisee - took the theatre into the O'Neil portfolio. Thus, the location became officially known as the O'Neil River Ridge Cinema 4. O'Neil Theatres Circuit went into bankruptcy protection that same year and, by 2008, was winding down operations.
