  • <p>Photo: CLIFF CARSON.  Willy Wonka was not the box office bomb that it’s reputation would insist.  In fact, it opened at the NORTH DEKALB MALL theatre in Atlanta first and played there for a while before going wide.  Lenox Square was one of the first theaters in the country to twin itself.  The first theatre was a nice size, large in proportion with a big screen.  Theatre no. 2 was unusually narrow and long in diameter with a rather small screen at the end.   It was a make shift theatre with a couple of huge pillars near the back directly in the center of the theatre.  Second and third run movies would play there.  ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE opened in the no. 2 theatre.   So did a lot of Russ Meyer films.   Normally after a film had a popular run in the larger no. 1 theatre they would move it to no. 2.</p>
