Demolition video:
When it opened, it was the largest cinema complex in the Carolinas (for a very short time, check Charlotte).
This opened on August 16th, 1996. Grand opening ad posted.

The Broadway 16 is now demolished. The separate, single screen that served as the IMAX (later BigD) is still standing for now.
Which would mean this is also the Broadway 16 again.
Need to change the description. It’s not a Carmike theater anymore.
The connected Big d closed in Augest. http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/news/local/article169579527.html
here is the website for the format. https://www.amctheatres.com/bigd
BigD was recently renamed “BigD at AMC” to match there other PLF formats. they might switch some of them to Dolby or IMAX when they come up for upgrades.
Strange. This theatre should still be listed as AMC Broadway 17 because that’s the official name, but only be listed as having 16 screens. The separate theatre should be changed to the AMC Broadway BigD, noting its technically the 17th screen of this theatre. Speaking of which, I am sure AMC will come up with a new name for the format soon. I would prefer them just be converted to IMAX, but AMC would keep less money that way so I could see them just deciding to create a better name.
The 17th Screen is actually in a separate building in the same shopping/entertainment complex. and is listed on this site as the IMAX Discovery Theatre. Do with that info what you will, but in my head it means this is still a 16-screen theatre with a separate theatre nearby.
Carmike has added one of their proprietary Big-D screens to this theater; screen count is now 17. View article
