dsavage…I have the original ads for the Englewood Cinema’s Grand Opening from March 31, 1972….. I can be contacted at Thank you.

SCREEN 2: James Coburn in THE HONKERS
THE COMING ATTRACTIONS ARE COMING TO THE CINEMA 1 & 2:
-John Wayne in THE COWBOYS
-Marlon Brando in THE GODFATHER…The Event of 1972!!!
-Clint Eastwood as DIRTY HARRY
-And the Rocky Mount return of BILLY JACK
Both the Englewood and Oakwood Cinemas were demolished and replaced by banks (Wachovia-now Wells Fargo-replaced the Englewood and Southern Bank replaced the Oakwood).
This was my first theatre as manager. Later opened Oakwood twin in 1977. Stewart & Everett Theatres were bought by Carmike Cinemas in 1986. Would like to hear from anyone that worked at these theatres in the 70’s and early 80’s.
Twin cinemas,Built right were Nice.
Stewart and Everett also had another twin cinema that operated in the town…one of two theatres that were in Rocky Mount. One was the Englewood Twin,aka Cinema 1 & 2,and the other was the Oakwood Twin which is NOT listed on this site that opened around 1975 or 1976.
