For more than 35 years, Garland residents could enjoy drive-in movies at 3159 S. Garland Road.

But as the home video era came into being, it was out with the Apollo Drive-In and in with the Wal-Mart 24-hour concept store, the Hypermart which opened at the former drive-in’s spot in 1989.

But less than a mile away, movie lovers of Garland were delighted when a 60,000 square foot, 15-screen behemoth known as the Cinemark Hollywood U.S.A. was announced in 1992 just off of I-635 and Shiloh Road. Groundbreaking took place on June 11, 1992 with Cinemark mascot Front Row Joe, Garland’s Mayor Bob Smith, and others.

The city teamed up with Cinemark to combine forces on a massive 800-space parking lot which would be used by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) users during the daytime and moviegoers by night. The fact was that nothing was small or understated about the Cinemark Hollywood U.S.A.

as it would become the largest megaplex outside of California when it launched at the end of 1992.
