Opened as the Plitt Waco Square 6 on August 1, 1986. It was operated by Cineplex Odeon who had just taken over Plitt Theatres. It was taken over by Carmike in 1995. On July 9, 2002 Starplex Cinemas took over operating with drastically discounted tickets. It was closed by Starplex on August 19 2010 and reopened on October 1, 2010.

Architected by David K. Mesbur opening August 1, 1986 as the Plitt Waco Square Six Cinemas. Cineplex Odeon had taken on the Plitt chain and opted for the Plitt nameplate at opening. Three auditoriums had Dolby Stereo at the launch.
The Waco Square Premiere Cinema 6 closed March 16, 2020 along with the rest of the Premiere Cinemas' locations for the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtually every discount, sub-run theatre was closed permanently in the United States during the pandemic. Premiere dropped the cinema from its webpage and disconnected its telephone almost assuredly leading to the location’s permanent closure.

I can’t say for certain, but my cousin and me may have gone to this theater (when it was a Cineplex Odeon) to see The Santa Clause at some point in late 1994.
Does anyone have pictures of this theater when it was a Cineplex Odeon, as well as pics of it as a Carmike?
The reason that it opened as a Plitt is that there was another theatre chain in the state called Cineplex.
Opened as An Plitt, with the Cineplex logo.
Carmike admitted defeat on January 14th, 1999
