Opened by Consolidated Theaters on December 19, 1980 as part of the new Layton Hills Mall. The 4-screen Layton Hills Starship Theatres had two 440-seat screens and two 275-seat screens, giving a total seating capacity of 1,430-seats. In April 1985 it was taken over by Cinemark and was renamed Movies 4. Two more screens were added in July 1986 and it was renamed Movies 6. It was closed in August 1996.
In 1990 Cinemark had built a new Movies 10 (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures)
Cinemark announced that the Movies 6 would be demolished and a new 16 screen would be built in its place right next door to the Movies 10. That never happened instead it built a new Tinseltown with only seven screens.

I remember this theater as the Starship Theater. Is that right? I remember it had small and cramped theaters. I also remember it had several pinball machines in the back. It was open at least until late 1993, as I saw the first screening of Robocop 3 there.

The Layton Hills Starship Theatres opened its doors with four screens on December 19, 1980, featuring two 440-seat screens and two 275-seat screens, bringing a total to 1,430 seats. The two 440-seat larger auditoriums features surround sound using 15 speakers. During its opening, the corporate mascot of Consolidated Theatres at the time, a robot resembling R2-D2 that Consolidated CEO Randy Miller called it “an amazing piece of machinery” was presented, and a contest to name the robot was held as well, with the winner receives a then-new 1981 Plymouth Reliant or Dodge Aries.
It was first operated by Consolidated Theatres, but was taken over by Cinemark in April 1985 and was renamed the Movies 4. Two more screens were added in July 1986, and was renamed the Movies 6. The Movies 6 closed in August 1996.
