EX-99.1 PRESS RELEASE DATED NOVEMBER 30,2004

Item 3.01.  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

(a) On November 30, 2004, Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (“Carmike”) issued a press release announcing that it received a notice, dated November 23, 2004, from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) indicating that because The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) had not received Carmike’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004, Carmike is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). As a result, Carmike’s securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market at the opening of business on December 2, 2004 unless Carmike requests a hearing in accordance with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4800 Series. Carmike plans to appeal the Staff’s determination and has requested a hearing by a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4800 Series. Carmike’s securities will remain listed pending the result of such appeal. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant Carmike’s request for continued listing.

In addition, as a result of Carmike’s filing delinquency, a fifth character, “E”, has been appended to its trading symbol; accordingly, Carmike’s trading symbol has changed from CKEC to CKECE. A copy of the Press Release is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 3.01 by reference. As previously announced, Carmike is continuing its ongoing evaluation of lease accounting issues arising in prior years. Carmike is working with its current independent auditors as well as its independent auditors for years prior to fiscal 2003 to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
