Grand opening ad posted.
I remember when the built the building on the hill where this theater now stands; it was the first Super K-Mart I remember seeing, probably sometime in the mid-90s. I was surprised to find out years later it had been turned into a movie theater, and it would be many years after THAT that I’d finally get to go there with my wife to see Shutter Island.
The information regarding this theatre has been revised. It is under the title the Winston Grande Stadium 18 & IMAX. This needs to be changed because it is a duplicate copy and the new information has been posted for the Cinema Treasures site. Thank you. I have the original ads for the grand opening of the Grande Stadium 18. E-mail is at
This movie theatre opened a year before Greensboro’s Four Seasons Grande Stadium Cinemas. I have found the original ads for the Grand 18 Stadium Cinemas grand opening. This will be revised. I have the ads if you need to see them. E-Mail me at
Element02: Did this theatre opened around the same time the Four Seasons Grand 18 did? Or did this theater opened months before the Four Seasons Grand? I have found the original advertisement for the grand opening one in Greensboro that opened in 2007. I’m looking for the grand opening ad to this one as well. E-mail me at
Thanks Chuck.. You’re correct, the theatre is still listed and is still operating. The number you are referring to in the header, however, is for the administration/office of this particular theatre. The number that they advertise to call for showtimes… 1-888-94-FILM… no longer lists showtimes for this particular theatre. If you type in the Winston-Salem zipcode, it automatically says that the closest AmStar Cinema is the ‘Four Seasons Grand 18’ in Greensboro, NC (a neighboring city).
I would like to update my last comment. Apparently due to tough times, ushers now ‘check in’ to each movie every 45 minutes or so. Very annoying! They walk in with a clipboard, do a headcount, walk around the cinema, check the exits, sometimes stay to watch part of the movie, then walk out. They do this several times during the film. VERY distracting! Not sure if new management has taken over or what, but the AmStar Cinema toll free movie recording line no longer lists this theatre, and doesn’t offer showtimes either. There is a total of 4 concession stands at this cinema. One on each side of the multiplex, a large one at the entrance, and a small ‘bistro/cafe’ style concession stand to the side of the entrance. During the week, the ‘cafe/bistro’ style concession stand is the only one open! Maybe they should lower ticket prices.
This is by far the most popular theatre in Winston-Salem, the parking lot is overflowing on weekend nights. Prices are outrageous, screens are not digital. Theatre is clean and beautiful though, concession stand serves pizza and some other specialty foods, 9 screens on each side of the complex.. very easy to ‘movie hop’ ;–)
