The Circle 6 in the Mall closed in 1995.
Opened July 29th, 1970, as the world’s largest six-plex cinema complex. Grand opening ad posted.
The Original “STAR WARS” played for 62 WEEKS!
While stationed in the area ‘88-'92, I was a member of the AMC Movie Watcher Club. I still have the card. According to the points statements and ticket stubs I still have, I watched the following at the Circle 6;
Tango and Cash 8pm on Thurs. 4/19/90 ($5)
Hard to Kill at 7:30 on Wed. 4/25/90 ($5)
Miami Blues at 8pm on Tues. 5/15/90 ($5.50)
Q&A at 7pm on Thurs. 5/17/90 ($5.50)
Another 48 HRS at 1pm on Sat. 8/18/90 ($4)
and 2 hours 46 minutes later I bought a ticket for…
Ghost at 4pm on Sat 8/18/90 ($3.5)
Pump Up The Volume at 8pm on Fri. 8/31/90 ($5.50)
Pretty Woman at 8:45 on Wed. 9/5/90 ($5.50)
Good Fellas at 7pm on Sun. 9/23/90
Rocky V at 8pm on Tues. 12/11/90 ($5.50)
Nothing But Trouble at 6:15 on Tues. 2/26/91 ($3.50 [$3.24 admission, $0.26 Tax, 8%, ouch!])
True Colors on 2/26/91
Point Break at 4:45 on Mon. 7/15/91 ($3.50 [$3.24 admission, $0.26 Tax, 8%, ouch!])
and maybe Prince of Tides at 8pm on Wed. 2/5/92 ($3.50 [$3.24 admission, $0.26 Tax, 8%, ouch!])
That’s not entirely correct. There were simultaneous bookings of “Star Wars” in the Hampton Roads area, all commencing on June 29, 1977. They were in Newport News (at Newmarket Mall 4), Norfolk (Circle 6), Portsmouth (Plaza 3) and Virginia Beach (Hilltop Twin).
Clarification: This is the first theater in the Hampton Roads area to play “Star Wars,” before it expanded into other local cinemas later in the summer of 1977.
