Thanks for the link. I’m glad the building is still there.

Hmm, was this place different from the Carmike Cinema 6 at 5804 Weaver Road

It’s nice to find this information and thanks for those pictures posted. I remember when the Plaza expanded to a four-plex and seeing “Jaws 3-D” in the newer theater. After the theater closed, it was converted into a family entertainment center called Beyond Imagination. They turned the theaters into surreal rooms for laser tag, miniature golf and an arcade, while retaining one theater as a movie hall for showing second-run movies. These pictures are from November 2007:

When I visited, I was told the other projectors were still there and used for spare parts. A stage was built in front of the movie screen for bands:

They also operated the concession stand with a popcorn machine and soda fountain.

Sadly, Beyond Imagination apparently did not last long, as Google Street View images from 2008 show the location vacant and the sign without a marquee.
Also of note, there was a theater in Mobile, Alabama called the Dauphin Street Cinemas that was built exactly like Plaza in Anniston. That building was demolished in the early 2000s.
