A 1983 aerial view shows that the theater appears to be still operating meaning that it was still open in the mid-1980s, but was already gone by the early-1990s as a 1993 aerial view shows the traces and booth but no screen.

The Walmart opened at the site in 1997 as a replacement of their previous location on 1231 North Brightleaf that had been operating since August 31, 1989.

I don’t think it closed with that movie. There’s more than just one film that closed the Meadows because its a twin.
