Opened by United Artists in 1973 as the UA Cinema I & II.
50sSNIPES, you are correct, February 28, 1973, to be exact. I was present on opening night.
Nice!
50s SNIPES, I worked for United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. (which owned theatres in Conway, Fort Smith, Clarksville, Morrilton, Benton, Malvern, Arkadelphia and Magnolia) from May of 1969 until August of 1977. I worked for that company again in Arkadelphia from 1980 until 1986. At the time the UA Cinema 1 & 2 opened, I was named the manager of the UA 65 Drive-In Theatre. After a time, the manager of the Cinema moved to Fort Smith to take over the UA Minitek Theatre. I moved to the Cinema. When the city manager of the theatres, Clarence Hobbs became district manager over the eight towns in Arkansas and also UA theatres in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I became city manager of the Conway theatres.
Nice! You did experience a lot of great memories back then! I’m sure that the remaining surviving members who previously worked with Arkansas’s United Artists chain still know you today!
Became a six-screener in May 1986.
Break-in on July 11th, 2010.
Carmike Cinema break in 14 Jul 2010, Wed The Log Cabin Democrat (Conway, Arkansas) Newspapers.com
Closed on June 9, 2010 after a small fire severely damaged its popcorn machine. The fire also caused a faulty malfunction to the exit doors. It never reopened afterward.
Strange, It was broken in on July 13th, 2010 with $3,500 still sitting in its cash drawers.
I know right? That’s absolutely insane!
