Citadel
Mall Mini-Max
We wanted to add our thoughts about the smaller IMAX screens. We
had expectations based on previous experiences at IMAX theaters.
We were stunned by the new digital IMAX theater in Charleston. The
screen is slightly larger than half the size of the standard IMAX
screen.

We're making a presentation this year as part of the festival's
educational series. We hope to see you there.

Expanded
Movie Theater Coverage
We have begun including Multiplex and Megaplex theaters to our site.
This is quite a challenge and will be an on-going project. We continue
to look for images and information on the old single-screen theaters
of South Carolina. Many of our site visitors do not remember the
old single-screen theaters. We have also realized that the generations
who enjoyed the first twin-screen and multi-plex theaters have stories
to tell. Those theaters are disappearing quickly. They are being
replaced by larger migaplex theaters which often include an IMAX
screen. So, we begin a period of expansion. We rely on our visitors
to help us grow. Let us hear from you by sending us an email at
info@scmovietheatres.com.

We just returned
from a ten-day road trip that covered much of western North Carolina,
Tennessee, and northern Georgia. Along the way we had many exciting
adventures, met some amazing people, and investigated several old
single-screen movie theaters. While these are not South Carolina
movie theaters, each has some story that makes it unique. We hope
you will enjoy hearing about and seeing photos of these theaters
in our neighboring states.
