Actual closing date is October 20, 1987. Screen 1 closed with two low-budget horror films, while Screen 2 closed with “Dirty Dancing” (the ONLY mainstream movie on closing night) and “Creepshow 2”.

The Walmart opened at the site on May 25, 2005 as a replacement of the nearby 5015 S Interstate 35 Frontage Road location that had operating since December 31, 1988.
