COLUMBIA, S.C. — Columbia residents will now have another choice when it comes to watching the latest releases on the big screen.
Spotlight Cinemas Capital 8 has opened in the former theater location on Columbia Mall Boulevard, above Columbia Place Mall in Northeast Columbia. The multiplex features 8 screens, Digital projection, Dolby 7.1 sound, large luxury rockers, and ticket prices are $8 per person.
The redevelopment is a collaboration between Spotlight Cinemas and The Meeting Place Church of Greater Columbia, which owns the property.
The 23-acre property is located in a South Carolina Opportunity Zone -- part of a new community development program created by Congress to encourage long-term private investments in economically distressed communities across the U.S. designated for growth and development.
The Meeting Place Church purchased the 200,000-square-foot complex in early 2017 with the goal of creating a spiritual meeting place as well as a source of economic growth for its mission.
Bishop Eric J Freeman, pastor and founder of The Meeting Place, said “We look forward to more businesses finding a home in our complex and bringing a robust center for family- friendly fun, entertainment and worship to the local community.”
