I was a manager at this theater back in ‘93. The original screen that was split in to two still had the same seats. All of them had ashtrays. On Thursdays when we built the Friday movies my employees would ask to preview in 1 or 2 so they could smoke while watching the movie.

Congratulations Park Terrace, you are 50 years old today! Wish I could have been there today for the time capsule opening. To start out 50 years ago a single screen, to make it through all the industry changes. Now you’re a six with stadium seating and digital projection, let’s make it to 75! I enjoyed managing there 1987-1989, will try to post some old pics!

“TOP GUN” was absent from the exclusive 70MM-6 Track Dobly Stereo Engagement Showings in the greater Charlotte area(especially Charlotte’s Park Terrace). The only theatre in the state that got the 70MM print was at Raleigh’s Mission Valley Cinema(the only theatre in the state where it got 70MM-6 Track Dobly Stereo presentational showing)when it opened on May 16,1986.

“CAMELOT” was a reserved seat engagement in 70MM at Charlotte’s Park Terrace Theater on December 22,1967. It was the only showing of the film in the Carolinas. It was one of two theatres in the state that booked it as a reserved seat engagement in the Carolinas(the other was Raleigh’s Colony Theatre).

“FINIAN’S RAINBOW” was also a reserved seat engagement at Charlotte’s Park Terrace Theatre in 70MM and 6 Channel Stereophonic Sound on January 23,1969. It was the only showing of the film in the Carolinas.

“DOCTOR DOLITTLE”– was also a reserved seat engagement in the Carolinas as well that played at Charlotte’s Park Terrace Theatre in 70MM and 6 Channel Stereophonic Sound on April 3,1968.

We remember many. But we have kept it a secret for 50 years , I think we may keep it untill just before the opening, We have great memories of the Sat morning shows for kids , westerns , Bond movies, good times in what seamed to be simple times.

Hello Crawfernando. I am a longtime Charlotte resident and my brother, Jim, is currently a manager at Park Terrace. What items do you remember being buried in the time capsule??

Crawfernardo
Crawfernardo on November 16, 2013 at 10:57 am

My brother and I grew up in that neighborhood and went there often. We were at the ceremony buring the time capsule. We still remember most of the items inside. We still live in Charlotte and plan to make it to the capsule opening. Time flys.

Cineplex Odeon operated this theatre between 1987 and 1989 when you was the general manager. Cineplex Odeon operated it until 1991 when Carmike Cinemas took over this theatre until 1995 when it was purchased by Consolidated Theatres of Charlotte.
