Cobb's Cinema City 8 was a cinema multiplex opened in June 1971 by Cobb Theatres at the Roebuck Shopping City on Parkway East. The theater, created from a former W. T. Grant & Co. store, also included a "Super Cellar" with boutique shops.

In the late 1980's, the success of the new Center Point 6 and the Consolidated/Carmike Bama 6 drew much of the business away from Cinema City 8. As a result, Cobb changed Cinema City to a second-run theatre that charged a discounted admission price. The theater closed in 1992. The space was later occupied by a Winn-Dixie grocery store.
