Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on social media about the future of the Town Center movie theater. Many people are wondering if it will be shuttered or updated, as the theater’s current state is far from its former brilliance. The theater, once a hive of bustle and entertainment, now appears to be a shell of its former self.
Answers from Social Media
A Reddit comment thread was loaded with nostalgia and concern. One user reminisces about the theater’s heyday, noting how it was a popular site for moviegoers to see new blockbusters like Avatar and The Avengers. They are surprised that a community as large as Mount Pleasant is struggling to keep a successful theater, especially following Cinebarre’s demise.
Another user makes a passionate plea for people to support the art of film by going to the theater. They claim that the decrease in theater attendance is a loss not only for the film industry, but also for the arts and cultural community.
A third user recommends that the Citadel Mall theater would be a better option because of the lower ticket and food costs, as well as the reclining seats, despite the fact that some of them are in disrepair.
Others recall the theater’s thriving days, when ticket counters were always open and lines stretched out to the roundabout. For many, going to the theater today seems like walking back in time.
