Here are a couple of recent photos of what remains of the former Georgia Cinerama. Amazing that this building is still standing. Maybe there is hope that it can one day be restored to its former glory. Note the slanted roof and thumb nail design. This building was designed for one purpose only: Cinerama.

Although the Georgia Cinerama never presented original three strip Cinerama to the best of my knowledge, I remember that they tended to specialize in 70mm films. Among the ones that I saw there were THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE, GRAN PRIX, & PATTON. When they showed conventional 35mm films there, like REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE & THE STING, the deep curvature of the screen could create distortion effects that made the presentation much less effective. Fortunately, I never attended the theater after it was “twinned.”

When the Georgia was twinned Martin built a suite of offices in the back that served as their booking office well into the 80’s. A friend of mine’s dad was a VP with Martin and I can remember visiting their offices many times. (This was back in the Fuqua days before the Patricks bought them out)

The last time I was over there I think it is now a church of some sort. Before that a real estate company used it for an office and presentations.
