Opened with 562 seats in Theatre 1 and 338 in Theatre 2 or 900 at launch. Dreadful news on September 4, 1995 when it closed at the end of its 25 year leasing agreement with “Congo” and a split screen of “Batman Forever” and “Judge Dredd” playing at deep discount, 99 cent sub-run pricing.
CORRECTION: Seating capacity for both auditoriums seated 600 totaling 1,200 seats.
Only the original STAR WARS movie played here first-run on July 1,1977 at High Point’s Martin Twin.
“THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK” & “RETURN OF THE JEDI” did not played first run at the Martin Twin. Those two sequels to Star Wars played first-run at High Point’s Capri Triple and not at the Martin Twin.
By the late-1980’s the Martin Twin became a discount cinema under Carmike until its closing in 1995.
