The Cloverleaf Mall Theatre opened as a twin in the late 60’s by ABC Mid-South Theatres. Through the years, it was operated by Plitt Theatres (who split the large auditorium to make the complex a triple), Gulf States Theatres, and United Artists Theatres. United Artists closed the theatre in 1995 when it opened its new theatre in the new Turtle Creek mall. An independent shortly took over and operated this as a bargain house.

United Artists demoted the Cloverleaf Cinema to sub-run discount status in 1995 and dropped the theater in the Summer of 1996. Cinestar Theatres of Atlanta took on the venue on January 4, 1 997 resuming a discount policy at the 99 cent price point. The circuit closed the Cloverleaf on December 1, 2004 just months from the end of a 30-year lease.
