What caused that place to go from a great theater to being torn down in less than 20 years?
The owner/operator opened a newer, bigger theater in Perkins Rowe and shut down Tinseltown instead of renovating it.
naw I think it was the theater under the new Sam's Club off of Range Road that killed the theater behind that Walmart....

As I recall, during the mid-90's the North Mall Dr/South Mall Dr circle off Siegen was supposedly a possible spot for Mall of Louisiana before it was settled on its location off Bluebonnet. Cinemark scooped up the Tinseltown spot and was locked in to that location and then the mall never materialized there.
So fast forward 20 years, the company was basically stuck there until Perkins Rowe development started. They did pretty much the same thing - scooped up the Perkins Rowe spot early and shut down Tinseltown. It wasn't based on Tinseltown not being profitable or anything like that. Cinemark was planning to move locations ever since the first plans for Perkins Rowe started coming out around 2003ish.
