Maybe Mike Rodgers has some info on this Georgia theatre!!!
The Gateway opened in 1972 as a single screen rocking chair theatre by Nat M Williams, Jr. (Interstate Enterprises). In the eighties it was sold to Georgia Theatre Company, along with the Hiwa Drive In, and two more auditoriums were added making it a triple. Georgia Theatre Company later sold out to United Artists Theatres. Eventually United Artist sold out and Georgia Theatre Company II was formed and bought the theatres back. Four more auditoriums were added in the nineties. The theatre converted to digital in 2009.
Must have opened prior to 1972. September 15, 1970 photo added as the the one screen Rise Theatre at Gateway Shopping Center. Photo courtesy Thomasville History Center, Thomas County Historical Society.
