Carlisle’s only true multi-plex, if I’m correct. The M J Carlisle Mall Cinema 3 opened on May 22, 1985 by R/C Cinemas. In January 1987 it was expanded to 8 screens. In 2005 it was taken over by Regal Cinemas. Regal dropped the cinemas in August 2015 and it was taken back by R/C Cinemas and renamed Carlisle Commons Movies 8.
