The Plaza Twin Cinema opened its doors on June 9, 1972 with “The Revengers” in Screen 1 and “Kotch” in Screen 2. It originally housed 493 seats (with 289 in Screen 1 and 204 in Screen 2). The theater was originally located right next to the city’s original Walmart, but that Walmart was relocated in 1987.
This was last known as the Malco Cinema Twin and was closed on November 24, 2005, exactly a few months after the Paragould 8 opened nearby.
It was originally independently-owned by Larry and Pat Miller for its first 26 years of operation, then it was taken over by Towne Cinemas of Memphis. Malco began operating the theater in February 2000.
