Movie theaters returned to downtown Chattanooga in 1997 with the opening of Carmike's Bijou Theaters located on the lower floor of CARTA's Shuttle Park North parking garage.  The Bijou has been highly successful with its seven screens and 1,100 seats.

The Bijou is the venue for the Arts and Education Council's twice yearly Independent Film Series showcasing twenty-four diverse independent films that would otherwise not be available at Chattanooga theaters.  The Bijou has played a major role in making downtown a popular place after the work hours.  This was Carmike's first investment in new downtown movie theaters in 20 years.
