Once operated by ABC Southeastern Theatres, later by Plitt Theatres, and briefly operated by Cineplex Odeon before Carmike took it over on January 9, 1987.
The Studio One Ultra-Vision Theatre launched on July 1, 1971 with the wide-formatted “Skies Over Holland” and “Shoot Out.” The auditorium featured 682 rocking chair seats. Studio One used automated projection equipment allowing it to have up to 6 showtimes for some features. “Star Wars” was shown with multi-channel surround sound becoming the theater’s biggest hit. In 1980, it was twinned becoming the Studio 1 & 2.
On January 9, 1987, Carmike Cinemas took over the venue as the Carmike Studio Twin Theatres. They closed the twin on January 29, 1989 with “Things Change,” “Tequila Sunrise” and “Hellhound: Hellrasier II.”
