Cine 2 turned into Cine 4. When Carisch owned Cine 2 it also showed adult films after midnight I believe into the early 80’s and was famous for late night Rocky Horror movie screenings. Mall 4 which is now Maverick 4 was never part of Cine 2 but shared common ownership. Cine 2 split its larger two screens into 4 smaller ones. Carmike expanded what was Cine 4 and added on to create 2 additional screens. I worked at Cine 2/4 during its remodel as well as Mall 4 and the Twin Star Driven in Mankato. After Carisch was purchased by Essenesse out of Chicago (Can’t remember the spelling) they changed their name to Excellence Theatres. During Excellence Theatres ownership they specialized in having the staff wear tuxedos to give a roaring 20’s feel.
