Frels Theatre Circuit launched the Cinema IV on July 6, 1984 as an outparcel building adjacent to the Victoria Mall in Texas. Architect of the $1.35 million project was Brookbank, Murphy and Shields of Columbus, Georgia. Theatre sizes were 306, 224, 196, 182 for a total of 908 seats. Five years later, Cinemark USA bought out Frels Theatre on July 22, 1989 and the Cinema IV was now a Cinemark property. Signs were put up saying Cinemark would expand the property to the Cinema VI – a project that did not occur.

When Cinemark launched its new 12-screen theatre behind Victoria Mall, it downgraded the Cinema IV to discount, sub-run status on May 11, 2001. That lasted until January 12, 2003 when Cinemark closed the property. It was soon demolished to make way for a Home Depot.
