Cinema 2

The Martin Twin was opened by 1976 and was operated by Martin Theatres. It became part of the Carmike chain. The theatre featured digital projection and sound, 3D capabilities and first run attractions. It must have done a fair amount of business that Carmike has kept a two-screen open. Of course, there are no other theatres in Americus playing first run movies. The only other motion picture theatre is the Rylander Theatre which plays their specialty movies (mostly family oriented). The Cinema 2 closed in June 2016.

Not listed as either Carmike or AMC on AMC’s website as of April 16, 2017. Is this cinema still open?

The 1 & 2 was built in the late 1970s. A 1973 aerial shows neither the theater nor the shopping center were built yet. A 1982 aerial however shows the theater and the shopping center in operation.
