Opening on May 28, 1982, the Park 51 Cinema was Charlotte’s newest multiplex theatre under Eastern Federal Corporation. It was right around the corner for the Tower Place Cinemas(which didn’t open until 1986). At the time of it’s opening, the Park 51 Cinema offered the latest movie going experience with state of the art Dolby surround sound in three auditoriums, and by the early-1990’s was upgraded to DTS-Dolby digital sound. By the mid-to-late-1990’s, the Park 51 Cinema went through a phase where it went from showing first-run features to becoming a second-run discount dollar house under Eastern Federal Theatres which closed the Park 51 Cinemas in 2000.
