Bluefield, WV: Golden Ticket Cinemas - Bluefield 8 Now Open [Apr 12, 2025]
Going over an extensive renovation to a luxury theatre, being described as “Here’s a little sneak peek 👀 for everyone …a “preview”, if you will. 🤣 This past year has been so exciting, watching our old theater by the mall transform into a brand new, state-of-the-art luxury theater, and now it’s almost finished!!! I love going to the movies, and Golden Ticket has spared no expense in bringing us the best of everything! It’s just a few short weeks away from opening! 🤞” with a rename being Golden Ticket Cinemas Bluefield 8
It never reopened. The Cinemas 8 sign was taken down sometime earlier this year.
It was just announced that this theatre has been taken over by Golden Ticket Cinemas and will be reopened in the Fall of 2023.

Manos Quality Theatres Enterprises opened this as the Mercer Mall Cinemas 8 as an outparcel building to the Mercer Mall in Bluefield, West Virginia on November 16 1990 with a benefit screening. It replaced an interior mall cinema that reportedly had launched when the Mercer Mall opened in 1980. On November 19, 1993, Carmike Theatres bought out the 1912-founded circuit started by Michael Manos - then operated by Ted Manos. The venue became the Carmike Cinemas 8.
In 2016, AMC bought the 1968-founded circuit started by C.L. Patrick and named after sons Carl and Mike (CarMike / Carmike). AMC rebranded all of its locations as one of three designations AMC Theatres, AMC CLASSIC, and AMC Dine-In on February 28, 2017. The majority of inherited - and especially older - locations including Carmike and Kerasotes locations - were given the Classic designation that included the Carmike “C” logo distinction. The Mercer Mall 8-plex was among the vast majority of Carmike locations rebranded. It became knows as the AMC CLASSIC Bluefield 8 on March 1, 2017.
The AMC CLASSIC Bluefield 8 closed on March 16, 2020 along with most other hardtop theaters in the U.S. due to the COVID-19 pandemic. AMC reopened its CLASSIC Bluefield 8 on September 4, 2020. In the streaming era, the circuit closed the AMC CLASSIC Bluefield 8 on February 26, 2023 at the end of a leasing period.
One of AMC’s first West Virginia locations.
