Moviegoers in Peachtree City
will now have to drive to enjoy the spectacle of the big screen.
Residents noticed this weekend that the Westpark Walk Cinema 3 had closed
its doors. The theater is owned by Carmike Cinemas, which recently filed
for bankruptcy.
Carmike could not comment on the closure and residents are now faced with
having to travel to see a movie for the first time in more than a decade.
Another theater could go into the facility, but more and more theater
companies are focusing on multiple cinemas with stadium seating to lure
residents from the comfort of their homes.
At one point, it was believed a new theater would be located in the Bob
Adams’ Lexington Park development on Ga. Highway 54, across from
Publix. But developers have recently stated that they are still evaluating
the feasibility of a theater since the industry seems in the middle of
a shakedown.
The closest theaters to Peachtree City now are in Newnan and Fayetteville.
