Originally the General Cinema Corp. Great Hills 8 which closed in the fall of 2000. It opened in July of 1989.
The street address is for the shopping center but the theater actually faces at 10151 Old Jollyville Rd. according to the map.
I was chief of staff at this theatre when general cinema owned it. And I loved working there cause everything was computer controlled except the projectors. Parking light lights and ac units were controlled by a computer. Hates though the way we had to Pop popcorn. Every Friday I had to assign a staff member to Pop a week’s worth of popcorn and bag it for the whole week.
There are current plans to demolish this theatre and replace it with high rise development.

The Regal Arbor @ Great Hills theatre was one of 20 theaters approved for lease relief in a bankruptcy maneuver with Regal’s parent in bankruptcy protection. Most closed September 14, 2022 while others - like the Austin Regal Arbor @ Great Hills location - continued into the month hoping for a few more patrons. They were few and far between with the venue closing permanently on a Friday - September 23, 2022.
