This was a cinema arcade complex with 6-screen. It was built as a partnership between Wal-Mart and Carmike Cinemas to fill the old Wal-Mart store. It opened on December 19, 1997 and closed on August 24, 2000. Others were built in Valparaiso, IN, Salt Lake City, UT, and Columbus, GA.

The Hollywood Connection closed August 24, 2000. Carmike declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier in the month and was able to close most of the wildly underperforming portfolio of its family destination entertainment complexes that had second run movies paired with indoor activities ranging from laser tag to bumper cars and roller coasters. Among the problems in the Walmart conversions for Carmike were the 50-50 revenue split, the high cost of conversions, the concept of paying up front for a 5-hour movie/fun pass with second run films, the vibe, the… well… you get the idea. Both ahead of its time and yet poorly executed due to the terms of the rev split. The locations built outside of the Walmart locations from the ground up in Utah and Georgia were able to run first run content and one former H’Connect even made it through to the AMC merger.
Opened December 19th, 1997.
