The Hillcrest Cinema started life as a 300-seat single-screener, opening its doors by owners Neal Baker and Bobby Whitaker on July 1, 1977 with “Smokey And The Bandit” as the first indoor movie theater to operate in Jackson since the 1962 closure of the Town Theatre. The theater was twinned around the following year, and was renamed the Hillcrest Twin Cinema.
