As someone who worked at Carmike Wynnsong, AMC’s buyout is a good thing. They do regular maintenance and don’t stint on the upgrades. But compared to Carmike’s former competitor at Southpoint, Silverspot is a different experience overall.

A fact about this theatre. Carmike Cinemas was bought out by American Multi-Cinemas(AMC Theatres)and who knows when the new changed will take place since this theatre’s days are numbered with the opening of the Silverspot Cinemas at Chapel Hill’s University Mall that opened in October 2015.

The Wynnsong Cinemas is the only Carmike venue between Durham and Chapel Hill. Carmike also has three other cinemas in Raleigh(Blue Ridge 10 & Carmike 15),and in Morrisville(Park Place 16) that may be affected.

A fun fact about the wynnsong opening. They had 5 cent popcorn and drinks and 10 cent candy as a promotion for their grand opening . I worked there for 2 years in high school in the 90s. Great blog about theaters love this.

This theater’s days be numbered since GATES construction has started building a 67,000 square foot movie theater at Chapel Hill’s University Mall that will be a seating capacity of 1,500 and 13-screens on the site of the former Dillard’s Department Store that will put this cinema(which opened in 1994)in competition once its opens being it is the ONLY Carmike Cinema venue between Durham and Chapel Hill.
