The Picture Show at Altamonte was a movie theater located at 130 E. Altamonte Drive, Altamonte Springs, FL. It originally opened in 1974 as AMC Interstate 6 and went through several operators before Picture Show Entertainments took over in 2005. The theater was known as a second-run, family affordable cinema, offering cheaper movie tickets with a nostalgic and community-centered atmosphere. It operated for over 50 years but permanently closed on January 30, 2025. The closure was met with sadness from the community as it was a local staple for moviegoers, especially for second-run films and discounted movies. The theater had undergone renovations and upgrades over the years but ultimately closed in the face of challenges like rising rent and competition from streaming services and multiplex chains.
