Dickinson tried to upgrade the Northrock to a 20-screen megaplex but couldn’t get the City of Wichita to agree in the late 1990s. It built the neighboring Northrock 14 in 1998. It then tried unsuccessfully to sell the Northrock 6 to a sporting goods company in 2001. It upgraded four of the six screens to stadium seating in 2001. It continued to look for a new owner which it found in 2003. The theatre closed on June 29, 2003 and was converted into office space.
Mr. and Mrs. T.H. Slothower’s Sandra Theatre launched July 23, 1939 with Barbara Hunt in “Wings of the Navy” supported by three selected shorts. Midwest Theatres took on the operation moving it to “move-over” status taking older product from the Orpheum or Miller theaters. The circuit closed it on February 3, 1954 citing an inability to properly convert to widescreen to show CinemaScope films. It closed with “The Greatest Show on Earth.” The local newspaper moved into the former theatre after some remodeling in 1954.
The New Theatre launched May 28, 1938 as a sub-run, double feature discount house with Melvyn Douglas in “Fast Company” and Lew Ayres in “Spring Madness.” It switched names to the Vicotry Theatre after a naming contest. The Victory ran to the end of a 30-year lease with mainstream product. In 1967, it became the Victory Art Cinema running porno chic and edited XXX titles. The cinema closed with a double-feature of adult titles, “The Danish Connection” starring John Holmes and “Back Stage.” It also had some live shows at the very end as performance / celebratory art on October 30, 1977 as the Victory Theatre to say farewell.
A demolition sale in November of 1977 allowed people to buy the original sunflower designed ceiling and many other artifacts uncovered during the razing of the venue including six giant murals and a box of 1950’s era unused 3D glasses. The theater was removed for urban renewal bringing about Naftzger Park
The 30th location of the Chris McGuire Cinema circuit had 483 seats at opening. When McGuire’s chain went out of business in 1971, the theaters went to various other circuits. Gulf States took on this location as the Village 3 Theatre through 1974 Under new operators, it became the Village Triple. It closed October 31, 1978 with “Pretty Baby,” “Wedding” and “Stingray.”
Shopping Center Theaters Circuit launched the Village Theatre on March 20, 1969 with David Niven in “The Impossible Years.” Later in 1969, Shopping Center Theaters merged with Chris McGuire Cinema Circuit which took on the Village. Chris McGuire Cinemas was dissolved in 1971 with multiple operations taken them over. Gulf State Theaters took on the Village Theater. ABC Florida State followed by Plitt Theatres followed with Plitt closing up April of 1982.
The theatre was twinned relaunching May 14, 1982 as the Atlas Twin with “Parasite” in 3D and “Fury of the Succubus.” Drew Knohl repositioned the Village as a sub-run, double-feature 99 cent discount house. Rajukumar Bombaywala took on a screen showing Bollywood fare on a semi-regular basis. The venue closed in January 27, 1994 with “Geronimo” paired with “Robocop 3” and “"American Cyborg” with “Menace II Society.” Rajukumar created the Hollywood Cinema in Hollywood, Florida to run Indian films.
The SMG Chisholm Trail may come back but because of the SMG bankruptcy, it could well be over. If it is a done deal, it opened August 28, 2020 with “Tenet” and a few other films. It closed abruptly on January 31, 2021 after just a five-month run. At opening, it was considered the SMG’s next generation “2.0” prototype venue Two months after opening, however, the circuit filed for bankruptcy during the COVID-19 pandemic that decimated theatrical exhibition. In January of 2021, SMG closed several locations including its DFW locations in Lewisville, Colleyville and the Dallas-based Northwest Highway / former AMC Grand along with locations including Scottsdale, Glendale, Hampton (Virginia), Alpharetta (Georgia), and Copperfield in Houston.
But the Chisholm location sputtered along though closing just two weeks later with four auditoriums in use with “The Croods 2,” “Wonder Woman ‘84,” “The Marksman,” and “News of the World” offered on January 31, 2021. Unlike the permanently closed locations, SMG declared this a “temporary closure”. Notes were posted on the door by the operators about how to get free admission to other SMG locations - none of which were close by. The C-Trail was then removed from the SMG website on March 30, 2021 with the location’s photos and posts removed from its Facebook site - not exactly a ringing endorsement for its 2.0-leaning future.
Opened as a Chris McGuires Cinema, an automated theater franchise of one of the three famous McGuire Sisters singing group. A publicly held company as an OTC stock, the theatre group started in 1969 and went bust in July of 1971.
The Village Theatre opened for McGuire Cinema Circuit in February of 1969 in the Searstown Shopping Center which had a Sears and a Woolworth’s. The theatre raised eyebrows with midnight X-rated films in the 1970s. The theatre was twinned in 1977 becoming the Village Twin Theatre 1 & 2. The theatre played “ET” for five months only closing in November of 1982 for the theatre to be redesigned as a six-plex, the Village Theatres VI relaunching in December of 1982.
The theatres closed briefly when the entire Searstown Shopping Center became the Sabal Palms Plaza in August of 1985 and theatre became the Sabal Palms Cinema VI. It later became the Sabal Palms Luxury Cinemas 6.
This venue opened August 14, 1924 as the Palace,Theatre and converted to sound to say relevant. Gulf Coast Theatres took on the Palace and the theatre received a shocking makeover in 1965/6 removing all character and any originality from the building basically creating a new theater around its four walls. Theatre seating was more spacious and comfortable to a final count of 650 seats. It reopened after the refresh as the Capri Theatre with “Zorba, The Greek” on February 17, 1966.
Gulf Coast sold the fading venue in 1972 as movie goers were going to suburban parts of town with lots of free parking available. The theatre switched to adult cinema and was hounded by local officials. It temporarily switched formats to family films under a new name briefly before heading back to 16mm adult films and legal issues. Though cleared of all charges, the theater may have discontinued operations after being raided on March 25, 1975 with Patty Alexon in “The Female Vacume Cleaner” and Karen Delmar in “Satisfaction.”
Smith Management - General Drive-In later General Cinema - drops the largest new hardtop screen in the south opening at Cinema Theatre in Bayshore Gardens October 19, 1960 at 6016 14th Street. The theatre would be renamed as Bayshore Gardens Cinema and Bayshore Cinema. The theatre closed for two months to become twins relaunching on November 16, 1973 with Cops & Robbers and American Graffiti and renamed as Bayshore Cinema I & II. At end of lease it was then dropped by GCC. At the end of lease. It briefly held on as an independently run discount house that closed on May 14, 1991 with King Ralph and Awakenings. It was then razed.
The Wallace Theatre was George B Wallace’s silent movie house. Bradenton Theatre Circuit, a subsidiary of Sparks took on the venue along with the Rialto in 1928. The management closed the Rialto and continued with the Wallace not converting to sound. The Wallace was reduced to three day a week operation before closing in 1930. It got some use as a live vaudeville house in 1933 and a club house in 1938.
The former Wallace Theatre got new life when the Sparks Theatre Circuit launched the State Theatre on January 3, 1941 as the second-run double-feature theater with Charles Bickford in “South to Karanga” and The Three Mesquiteers in “Heroes of the Saddle” supported by the Flash Gordon serial, “Conquering Universe.” It closed with “Drums in the Deep South” and Robert Mitchum in “The Racket” supported by the Goofy cartoon, “Farther’s Day Off” on December 16, 1953. Fire just five minutes prior to the December 17, 1953 showings of those same films ended the theater’s run.

This nondescript 8-plex theatre began as part of one of the nation’s fastest growing chains in the 1980’s, Rand Theatres based in Little Rock. It opened December 16, 1988. The theatre was ensconced from the busy 114 Highway with one’s only hope of visibility being its frontage road attractor. Operator Tony Rand was trying to go from around 60 screens to 300 in Dallas using distinctive practices which ultimately led in the shuttering of the chain in late 1989 and just into 1990.
This Rand Theatre closed with a flourish worthy of the big screen after a police raid was launched in hopes of trying to collect back taxes followed by a lock out on October 7, 1989. The features were not the freshest - Hollywood was onto the circuit - and the newspaper stopped carrying their ads “on account” that weekend so the till was probably a bit sparse. All three Rands closed that night with lockout notices for failing to pay taxes. But the theatre wasn’t done yet.
Hollywood Theatres continued the operation as Grapevine 8 on April 27, 1990 as a first-run theatre. In December of 1995, Cinemark dropped a 17-screen megaplex across the labyrinthian highway forcing Hollywood to drop the theater to sub-run, discount status at that point. The theater closed on May 18, 2000.
The venue officially became part of Wallace Theatres still as a discount house on November 2, 2000 closing quickly as every dollar bill had been wrung from the facility. Starplex Theatres reopened with one final business plan to wrest every quarter it could with super discount, all seats all times 50 cent admission as Starplex Movies 8 on December 21, 2001. It was the best theater in DFW for those on a budget. But less than a year into the plan, Starplex dumped the facility with a nice sign off on its telephone answering machine. That message stayed almost a year after its closure. Though one hoped that another circuit would attempt to revive the facility with 25 cent or even dime pricing, it just wasn’t meant to be.
The theatre was home to the Hope Church for a brief period. A 2006 revision plan was signed allowing the theater / church to be razed in favor of a chain Tex-Mex restaurant that opened in 2007.
As a Rand operation, the Garden Park Cinema 10 was closed by local authorities due to back tax evasion on October 7, 1989. Appears to have closed for good by Silver Cinemas as the Super Saver 10 on March 27, 1997.
The not-so-imaginatively-titled Rand South Freeway Cinema 8 had an opening set in the summer of 1989 to coincide with the blockbuster “Batman” film. But that moment came and went. That’s not too unusual as delays happen in construction but when the South Freeway 8 did launch for Little Rock-based Rand Theatres Circuit on September 1st without a phone number, that was odd in 1989. It turned out it was because Rand Theatres was performing creative accounting and not paying for much of anything including taxes, Hollywood studios, newspapers, utilities…. well you get the picture.
The South Freeway 8 was the last theatre to actually open for the Circuit which was furiously trying to mount many other theaters in Texas, New Mexico, Illinois, Florida and Tennessee. The theatre did get phone service but Hollywood studios were wise to the situation. New films dried up fast. Rand’s financial dealings in other states were coming into light and local police raided the theater’s box office and concession stand on October 7, 1989 to grab whatever cash was on hand. Given that the local paper had stopped giving away ads that weekend “on account” and Hollywood no longer providing first run product to the venue, It’s likely that amount was so embarrassing low that the staff were said to have offered free concessions to augment the kitty. Raids occurred at all of Rand’s area theatres. And with that, the DFW market was Rand-less and the South Freeway 8 had closed after just five weeks.
Rand was able to keep the charade going in New Mexico because news didn’t travel quite so fast pre Internet. The New Mexico Tramway Rand was reaching the finish line with a November 17, 1989 announced Grand Opening. But on November 12, 1989, local officials stepped in and the Rand Circuit began a quick descent ending with foreclosure auctions and landing Tony Rand in prison.
The Burleson cinema re-emerged just a month later with a November 3, 1989 soft launch and November 17, 1989 re-grand opening. It continued under various operators all the way to the 2020s when AMC was operating it as the Burleson 14..
This venue became the Chapel Hill Mall 1-II-III on November 2, 1973. On June 3, 1983, it became the Chapel Hill Mall V. General Cinema closed it as the Chapel Hill Mall V on September 24, 1988 when it opened its new 8-plex the next day.
