This theater closed in Spring, 1989. I know this because I arrived in VA in the Summer of 1989 and was PISSED that this business closed right before I got there. The big screen and abandoned ticket center stood for years after the closure. Before the Wal Mart was built, there were some carnivals and other events in the empty parking lot. Not sure exactly when the old structures finally fell, but it was definitely down by 2000.
