I saw a handful of movies here such as Damien 2, The Day Time Ended and Day of the Dead. I remember driving by in 1987 and Jaws revenge was playing. It must had closed down shortly after. Very sad.

Sold to Chappell cinemas in 1986 and closed in 1987.

This opened on November 25th, 1969 with an open house the night before. Grand opening ads in photo section.

stefankatlanta You were not the only one. I did too. I think the last movie I saw there was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

I think it looked just like my theatre here and like the Cedar Bluff in Knoxville.All three ABC theatres opening about the same time.

No I never took pictures of the Stonemont. I only went there once. I do remember it was called Bollywood before it was demolished.

This theater has not been demolished. It is presently used as a mosque.

The first time I went to this theater was to a private screening of Airport 1975 at midweek matinee. The theater was not grand but not a bad place to see a movie. It seems at that time the rear of the building was a smoking section.

From time to time I would see movies here. The last was the opus “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.” My how the mighty have fallen.

From what I remember, this theater closed about the same time Westgate closed.

Like I said it was not a palace but not a bad place to see movies.

The theatre is/was located at 3642 Campbellton Road SW, Atlanta, GA 30331 and was the north anchor of the Bell Hill Shopping Centre. The only film I can recall seeing there was Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (circa 1970). I am almost sure that the theatre’s rear seating area was reserved for smokers, a convenience absent in 21st century cinemas.
