The Southpark Mall Cinemas opened as a twin on June 27, 1975 by National General Cinemas. Opening movies were Walt Disney’s animation “Bambi” & Beau Bridges in “The Other Side of the Mountain”. Seating was provided for 450 in Cinema 1 and over 400-seats in Cinema 2. On September 3, 1993 Regal Cinemas opened a six screen in the mall that operated with the original twin. It closed in February 2001.
On May 31, 2002 a new operator re-opened the six screen theatre which did not last long, closing in 2003.

Does anybody know if the GCC two-sreener was a separate theatre in the mall, or did Regal make use of it when building their six-plex at the mall?
When Regal built the Southpark Mall, six screens were built in the old game arcade area—-the original two-screen GCC house were two more screens used for a total of eight. The 6 new screens were all stereo—-2 Dolbys and four Smart Stereos. The original mall two were not stereo. The 6 screens and the two screens were across the way from each other—-you bought your tickets for the 2 screens at the boxoffice of the 6. The two separate theatres had their own concession stand.
Opened by Regal Cinemas on September 3rd, 1993. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
June 27th, 1975 grand opening ad in the photo section. Regal closed the cinemas down in February 2001 and another owner opened the six-plex section on May 31st, 2002 and closed in 2003.
