Big Rapids Cinema

The AMC Theater (formerly the Carmike Theater) in Big Rapids is host to an alleyway. That alley was where Toy Volkonir was discovered by Cassie Helm in 2008's Volkonir. That same alley is used for scenes involving Gambino Penguin in Mutt Mackley and Gambino Penguin's "Somewhere I Belong".

The evening of August 25th of 2006, most Ferris students were attending the Meijer Madness event. The Dozerfleet founder went to the Carmike, and had almost the entire theater exclusively to himself. Snakes on a Plane was showing. Its ending immediately inspired ideas for an animated series spinoff. Snakes on a Blog mentioned this animated series pitch; but New Line never contacted about it. In the spring of 2007, TMNT was on at that same theater. It was also the location where the founder saw The Dark Knight and took a date to see Hancock in 2008.

Since AMC took over, they placed a white stucco facade over top the red brick exterior that appears in the alleyway. They also removed the chain link fence, which looked silly and produced a ludicrously narrow walkway for anyone entering the alleyway. For The Sims 4: Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff, the Carmike Theater's original colors were restored. However, the real building was shut down permanently in 2020.
