Located off Koury Boulevard at Interstate 40, adjacent to the Four Seasons Mall Town Center. The Four Seasons Mall Cinemas I-IV opened on February 9, 1979, as part of the General Cinema Corporation. This was the first GCC foray in the Greensboro market (after the opening of several other GCC theatre in Charlotte, Fayetteville and Winston-Salem, and later on in Raleigh).
The Four Seasons Mall was one of Greensboro’s largest and most popular shopping destinations. The theatre did huge business by showing the latest Hollywood blockbusters. It remained that way until November 15, 2000, when the cinema closed due to the expansion of the Four Seasons Mall. It was demolished in 2002.

The Four Seasons Mall itself opened in 1975 as one of the largest indoor shopping centers in the Triad. At the time it was a two level mall,but during the 1980’s a third level was placed. The major department stores at Four Seasons were JC PENNEY, BELK, DILLARD’S, JORDAN MARSH, and THALHIMERS, along with a G.C. MURPHY’S, PICCADILLY CAFETERIA and other specialty stores and services. The cinema which was located on the opposite end of the shopping center off I-40 and High Point Road didn’t opened in 1979.
Thanks raysson.
Open on Friday February 9, 1979 as General Cinema’s second movie theatre to open in the greater Triad area,and Greensboro’s second multiplex theatre since the opening of the Carolina Circle Mall Cinemas 6 that opened on November 12,1976. The 2nd GCC Theatre to open since the Hanes Mall Cinemas opened in Winston-Salem on December 22,1976. The Four Seasons Mall Cinemas closed in 2001.
billhobbs: I have the original ad of the grand opening of this theatre from the Greensboro News and Record on February 9,1979 of the Four Seasons Mall Cinemas.
THE OPENING ATTRACTIONS FOR IT’S GRAND OPENING WERE:
I-Clint Eastwood in EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE
II-Glenda Jackson in THE CLASS OF MISS MACMICHAEL
III-Anthony Quinn in THE INHERITANCE
IV-Walt Disney’s THE NORTH AVENUE IRREGULARS
Raysson, So do I and uploaded it in the photo section for this theatre.
Closed in October of 2001.
Theater was demolished in 2002 to make way for the expansion project of the Four Seasons Mall. In 2007, a newer, flashier, state of the art 18-screen stadium seating megaplex opened off High Point Road just a mile from the Four Seasons Mall near Interstate 40.
Raysson you got the movies right but the Cinema screens wrong. North Avenue Irregulars was in Cinema 1. Class of Miss McMichael was in Cinema 2. Every Which Way But Loose was in Cinema 3. The Inheritance was in Cinema 4. I remember this because the entrance to the theater area had them numbered left to right and that is the locations of the movies. I’m pretty sure Every Which Way But Loose was a last minute replacement which may explain the ad showing Slow Dancing as one of the movies for the Gala Opening then Every Which Way But Loose when it actually opened. Every Which Way But Loose was already playing at some other theaters when 4 Seasons Cinemas opened.
Every Which Way But Loose and North Avenue Irregulars were really busy. The other two not so much. Slow Dancing was shown but didn’t stay long.
Closed November 16th, 2000 in the great 2000 purge of older cinemas.
