The paper reports that the theater closed at the opt out of a 15-year leasing agreement on December 16, 2001 with Carmike closing with “Monsters, Inc.”, “Out Cold”, “Black Knight”, “Spy Game”, and “Shallow Hal”. Carmike had taken on the venue after the theater’s fifth anniversary on November 16, 1991 operating to closure. Barnes and Noble took on the spot and sprinted out during an opt out in 2011 with the Mall in full scale retreat already in greyfield or “dead mall” status. Demolished - technically twice - after the Mall closed in December of 2019.
