Now closed. June 2023 and November 2025 Google Street Views shows that the marquee reading “CLOSED” in both sides, meaning that this may’ve closed in either late-2022 or early-2023, and still abandoned to this day.
According to information prior to its closure, the Indie Cinema last screened first-run films with a mix of special events at rare occasions, including concerts and live performances.
Uploaded an photo of the King theatre as well as a 2023 Street view with the “closed” sign on it.

Closed by the time the Googlemobile passed it by in June, 2023.
Grand opening ad posted.
Opened with Richard Dix in “Man Of Conquest” (unknown if extras added).
A timeline of events in Tishomingo says that the rebuilt Thompson Theatre opened on July 20, 1939.
Boxoffice of September 18, 1978 said that Joe, Midge, and Jim King had sold their King Theatre in Tishomingo to Gary Gill.
The Thompson Theatre opened with 464 seats in August of 1939 by Glen Thompson which replaced the original Thompson Theatre which had opened in 1936 but was burned on January 3, 1939. The 300-seat theatre was the Princess Theatre which Thompson also operated through October of 1950. On October 15, 1954, the theatre converted to widescreen projection to present CinemaScope films beginning with “The Robe.” It may mean little, but ads discontinue at the 20-year mark of the theater.
The King has reopened as the Indie Theatre with a seating capacity of 146. The address 114 West Main Street, Tishomingo, OK 73460 and the website is http://the-indie.com/index.html
Address looks to be 114 W. Main Street based on the address of the business next door.
Still standing on Main Street, off Neshoba, the King Theatre has lost its marquee, but is recognizable on photo right.
