Actually General Cinema closed this theater on September 29, 2000 (making September 28 their last day) due to the company near bankruptcy and that the theater hasn’t showed any new movies to play on their opening weekend of release since Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo when it first opened back in December 1999, they been playing movies that left Century Rio 24 before they go to the second-run theater Cinemark Movies 8. Madstone Theaters took over General Cinema and opened its doors on June 7, 2002 as a Indie theater and the first Albuquerque movie theater to serve alcohol. But the last day was on June 7, 2004 due to Madstone heading into bankruptcy but they planning on keeping this theater opened since it was the most busiest Madstone Theatres but they ended up having to close it and all of their theaters and leaving Albuquerque without a movie theater that serves alcohol until 12 years later when Flix Brewhouse opened.
Sadly during in June when Cinemark announced that they will be reopening their theaters in July, they will not reopen this theater due to the lease about to be expired
I have never been to this theater before (cause I wasn’t born by the time they closed it down) but I heard it was a great small Rio Rancho theater…….. UNITL either 1994-1995 when the theater was flooded and even through they cleaned up the theater afterwards and stayed in business until 1998, the main thing they didn’t get rid of is the smell after the flood, people we’re complaining that it was very smelly and the managers didn’t even care what others think, but people still come back to the theater cause it was cheaper than Starport and Movies West at the time and most of them just got used to the smell
