I was a manager at this theater back in ‘93. The original screen that was split in to two still had the same seats. All of them had ashtrays. On Thursdays when we built the Friday movies my employees would ask to preview in 1 or 2 so they could smoke while watching the movie.
A chronology of Charlotte’s 70mm presentations history has recently been published/updated. Park Terrace gets several mentions in the piece.
Here’s a new 4-page 50th anniversary FIDDLER ON THE ROOF retrospective featuring a roadshow playdate chronology and historian Q&A. The Park Terrace’s run is mentioned in the piece.
Plitt also operated the Park Terrace before Cineplex Odeon took over.
Precious Images were shown before the feature. Watch below
Reopened by the Stone Group’s Consolidated Theatres on May 31st, 1996 with a major celebration.

When was the last day of business at Charlotte’s Park Terrace? When I looked on board the Regal website…I heard The Last Jedi was playing…..and the cinema is still open…..
Looks like Park Terrace will soon be moved over to the “Closed” list: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article188840369.html

Peter Hyams “2010” was one of the only 70mm-6 track Dolby Stereo presentations in the Carolinas that opened in December 1984 at this theater.
Congratulations Park Terrace, you are 50 years old today! Wish I could have been there today for the time capsule opening. To start out 50 years ago a single screen, to make it through all the industry changes. Now you’re a six with stadium seating and digital projection, let’s make it to 75! I enjoyed managing there 1987-1989, will try to post some old pics!
“TOP GUN” was absent from the exclusive 70MM-6 Track Dobly Stereo Engagement Showings in the greater Charlotte area(especially Charlotte’s Park Terrace). The only theatre in the state that got the 70MM print was at Raleigh’s Mission Valley Cinema(the only theatre in the state where it got 70MM-6 Track Dobly Stereo presentational showing)when it opened on May 16,1986.
“CAMELOT” was a reserved seat engagement in 70MM at Charlotte’s Park Terrace Theater on December 22,1967. It was the only showing of the film in the Carolinas. It was one of two theatres in the state that booked it as a reserved seat engagement in the Carolinas(the other was Raleigh’s Colony Theatre).
“FINIAN’S RAINBOW” was also a reserved seat engagement at Charlotte’s Park Terrace Theatre in 70MM and 6 Channel Stereophonic Sound on January 23,1969. It was the only showing of the film in the Carolinas.
“DOCTOR DOLITTLE”– was also a reserved seat engagement in the Carolinas as well that played at Charlotte’s Park Terrace Theatre in 70MM and 6 Channel Stereophonic Sound on April 3,1968.
Crawfernardo: During the 1960’s and into the 1970’s…The Park Terrace showed a lot of classic movies that got first-run billing in the Carolinas. Walt Disney’s “Mary Poppins” was an exclusive engagement showing in the Carolinas where it played for an astounding 22 weeks!
It also got the reserved seat engagement showings too. The only showings in the Carolinas played first-run at Charlotte’s Park Terrace Theater…….
“Shoes of the Fisherman”-in 70MM
“The Great Race”
“Camelot”-in 70MM and 6 Channel Stereophonic Sound
“Doctor Dolittle”-in 70MM
“Rise and Fall Of The Roman Empire”-in 70MM
“Fiddler On The Roof”-in 70MM/6 Channel Stereo Sound
“Irwin Allen’s The Towering Inferno”-in 70MM
Other classic movies that played here too……. “Midnight Cowboy”,the controversial 1969 film got first-run billing at Park Terrace before anyone else in the Carolinas. It was a exclusive engagement that played here for 19 weeks!!!
We remember many. But we have kept it a secret for 50 years , I think we may keep it untill just before the opening, We have great memories of the Sat morning shows for kids , westerns , Bond movies, good times in what seamed to be simple times.
Hello Crawfernando. I am a longtime Charlotte resident and my brother, Jim, is currently a manager at Park Terrace. What items do you remember being buried in the time capsule??
My brother and I grew up in that neighborhood and went there often. We were at the ceremony buring the time capsule. We still remember most of the items inside. We still live in Charlotte and plan to make it to the capsule opening. Time flys.
Cineplex Odeon operated this theatre between 1987 and 1989 when you was the general manager. Cineplex Odeon operated it until 1991 when Carmike Cinemas took over this theatre until 1995 when it was purchased by Consolidated Theatres of Charlotte.
1987 -1989 sorry
