Sadly, this theater is closed. It didn’t survive Covid lockdown.

This was when the theater was known as Litchfield. It wasn’t until a few years later was it called Cinema 6.

I have a lot of memories in this place. Thanks for posting.

This theater converted all of their auditoriums to stadium seating in 1998. I felt like they never quite got it right (not optimum for viewing) and didn’t enjoy watching movies here after that.

This theater closed in October 1988, shortly after Heritage Days. I saw several films here as a boy. The marquee was always impressive to me when my parents drove down Main St. It was desperately outdated by the time it closed, but was still a tragic loss for the town.

@ Scott. Yes, this theater was replaced by a new building. The original Carmike 9 inside the mall closed around 2006-2007 and was replaced by a new building that was built in the parking lot. The description above is accurate to the old building. However, it originally opened as 6 screens in September of 1990, and in 1994 three additional screens (on the opposite side) were built.

I saw RETURN OF THE JEDI in pure awesome 70mm, 6 track Dolby here in June of 1983. One of the more memorable movie going experiences of my child hood.

I was one of the first people hired at this theater. I had previously worked at Gold Park Twin and Parkwood. In Sept 1988, I was hired and helped install the seats and projection equipment, and was the head projectionist until I left Wilson in the early 90’s. I miss this place.
