3 Screens with 1,100 seats. Closed in 2000 as a second-run discount theatre under Carmike, and was demolished in 2001 to make way for the Dillard’s wing expansion of the Independence Mall.

Carmike has never impressed me from the theatres I have seen up close.But,I know it is a different time we live in.

This theater closed and was demolished in 2000 to make way for the Dillard’s wing in the mall. I miss this theater. I saw so many movies there as a kid.

Stewart & Everett opened The Independence Mall Cinema 1-2-3 on or about April 4, 1980. Phil Pierce was the City Manager in Wilmington for “S & E” at the time. This information comes from Stewart & Everett’s “Showmanship” newsletter dated April 4, 1980 (page 5).
