CLASS A COMMON STOCK The 128,986 shares (the "Shares") of Class A Common Stock, par value $.03 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (the "Company" or "Carmike") offered hereby are being offered for the account of the selling shareholders of the Company identified herein (the "Selling Shareholders"). The Shares offered hereby were issued by the Company in connection with the Company's acquisition of First International Theatres. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders. See "Selling Shareholders." The Selling Shareholders, directly, or through agents or broker-dealers designated from time to time, may sell the Shares from time to time on terms to be determined at the time of sale. To the extent required, the number of Shares to be sold, the names of any agent or broker-dealer and any applicable commission or discount with respect to any particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. The Selling Shareholders reserve the sole right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of the Shares to be made directly or through agents. The Company has agreed to bear all of the expenses (other than commissions, underwriting discounts and fees of any counsel of the Selling Shareholders) in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares being offered by the Selling Shareholders. See "Plan of Distribution." The Class A Common Stock has one vote per share, while the Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $.03 per share (the "Class B Common Stock", and together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), has ten votes per share. Through its ownership of all the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock as well as certain shares of the Class A Common Stock, the Patrick Family (as hereinafter defined) holds approximately 59% of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock, and thereby controls the outcome of all matters requiring a vote of stockholders (except those matters requiring approval of both classes voting separately). The Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CKE." On October 15, 1997, the last reported sales price of the Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $31 11/16 per share. FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN RISKS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY, SEE "RISK FACTORS" ON PAGES 4 THROUGH 5. The Selling Shareholders and any agents or broker-dealers that participate with the Selling Shareholders in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any commissions received by them and any profit on their resale of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution" herein for indemnification arrangements among the Company and the Selling Shareholders. ------------------------ THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.

As of September 30, 1997, the Company operated 525 theatres with an aggregate of 2,699 screens located in 35 states. The Company's screens are located primarily in communities where the Company is the sole or leading exhibitor. Nearly all of the Company's screens are located in multi-screen theatres, with over 96% of its screens located in theatres with three or more screens. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1982 in connection with the leveraged buy-out of the Company's predecessor, the Martin Theatres Circuit, by present management. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1301 First Avenue, Columbus, Georgia 31901, and the telephone number at that address is (706)576-3400. RISK FACTORS Prospective purchasers of the Common Stock should carefully consider the factors set forth below, as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus, in evaluating an investment in the Common Stock offered hereby. EXPANSION PLANS Theatre acquisitions and new theatre openings have greatly expanded the Company's operations in the past, and the Company intends to continue to pursue a strategy of expansion that will involve the development of new theatres, potential acquisitions of existing theatres and theatre circuits, and expansion of existing facilities. There is significant competition for potential site locations and existing theatre and theatre circuit acquisition opportunities. As a result of such competition, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive site locations or existing theatres or theatre circuits on terms the Company considers acceptable. The development of new theatres involves certain risks, including the possibility of construction cost overruns and delays, uncertainty of site acquisition costs and availability, uncertainties as to market potential, zoning and tax law considerations, market deterioration and the emergence of market competition from unexpected sources. Additionally, expansion of the Company's operations, whether through theatre development or acquisitions, involves the risk that the Company might not effectively manage such growth as effectively as it has in the past. New theatre openings and acquisitions typically have been financed with internally generated cash and by debt financings, including borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility. In addition to these sources, financing for expansion may be in the form of additional equity or debt securities, additional bank financing and other forms of long-term debt and, where appropriate, future lease financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional financing at the time it is needed or that such additional financing, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Any equity-based financings may result in dilution of the interests of the current stockholders of the Company. The Company's bank credit facility and its outstanding senior notes contain certain financial and other covenants, and the incurrence of other debt may impose additional restrictions on the Company. DEPENDENCE UPON MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION AND PERFORMANCE The Company's business is dependent both upon the availability of suitable motion pictures for exhibition in its theatres and the performance of such pictures in the Company's markets. Accordingly, the Company's results of operations will vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures it exhibits. A disruption in the production of motion pictures or lack of motion pictures could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. SEASONALITY The Company's revenues have been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of major releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most marketable motion pictures have been released during the summer and the Thanksgiving through year-end holiday season, and motion picture exhibitors have had proportionately higher revenues during such periods. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition revenue has become less pronounced in recent years as studios have begun to release major motion pictures more evenly throughout the year, and the unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can also alter the traditional trend. During fiscal year 1996, the percentages of the Company's total box office revenue by quarter were as follows: first quarter 21.6%; second quarter 24.5%; third quarter 28.1%; and fourth quarter 25.9%. -4- 7 DUAL CLASSES OF COMMON STOCK; CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS The outstanding Common Stock of the Company consists of 9,918,587 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,420,700 shares of Class B Common Stock as of September 30, 1997. Except for voting as to certain matters, holders of both classes of Common Stock vote together as a single class, with Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and Class B Common Stock having ten votes per share. The two classes of Common Stock also differ as to dividend rights, convertibility and transferability. Through its ownership, directly or indirectly, of all the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock and 124,791 shares of the Class A Common Stock, including shares subject to purchase upon exercise of vested options, the Patrick Family (including C. L. Patrick, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, Michael W. Patrick, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Carl L. Patrick, Jr., a director of the Company) owns approximately 59% of the combined voting power of both classes of Common Stock. Such ownership allows them to elect all of the directors of the Company and to determine the outcome of any other matter submitted to stockholders for approval (except for matters requiring approval of both classes voting separately). The voting rights of the Class B Common Stock may make the Company less attractive as the potential target of a hostile tender offer or other proposal to acquire or merge with the Company, even if such actions would be in the best interests of the holders of the Class A Common Stock. DEPENDENCE UPON SENIOR MANAGEMENT The Company's success depends in part on the continued contribution of its senior management, including Michael W. Patrick, the Company's President, and John O. Barwick, III, Vice President-Finance. The loss of the services of one or more members of the Company's senior management could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business and development. The Company has an employment agreement with Michael W. Patrick. COMPETITION The Company's operations are subject to varying degrees of competition with respect to licensing films, attracting patrons, obtaining new theatre sites and acquiring theatre circuits. In addition, the Company's theatres face competition from a number of motion picture exhibition delivery systems, such as pay television, pay-per-view and home video systems. While the impact of such delivery systems on the motion picture industry is difficult to determine precisely, there can be no assurance that they will not have an adverse impact on attendance. Movie theatres also face competition from other forms of entertainment competing for the public's leisure time and disposable income. DIVIDEND POLICY; RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock. It is the present policy of the Board of Directors to retain all earnings to support operations and to finance expansion of the business; therefore, the Company does not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and is subject to many considerations, including covenants in debt instruments, operating results, business and capital requirements and other factors. Pursuant to its various debt instruments, the Company is subject to certain restrictive provisions which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends and other defined restricted payments, require that certain debt to capitalization ratios be maintained and require minimum levels of cash flows. CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS Certain provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company not approved by the Board of Directors, even if the change in control were in the stockholders interests. As previously noted above under the caption "Dual Classes of Common Stock; Control by Principal Shareholders", the voting power of the Class B Common Stock may make the Company less attractive as the potential target of a hostile tender offer or other proposal to acquire or merge with the Company. In addition, under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of those shares without any further vote or action by the Company's stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. While the Company has no present intention to issue shares of Preferred Stock, such issuance, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits the Company from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The application of Section 203 could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION This Prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein, contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on the Company's belief and assumptions, as well as information currently available to the Company. When used in this Prospectus, the words "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected. -5- 8 USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered hereby. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered hereby will be received by the Selling Shareholders. THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS All of the Shares offered hereby are beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholders and were acquired by the Selling Shareholders in connection with the Company's acquisition of First International Theatres ("First International"). The Selling Shareholders do not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company other than the Shares. Since the Selling Shareholders may sell all, or some or none of the Shares, no estimate can be made of the aggregate number of Shares that are to be offered hereby or that will be beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholders upon completion of the offering contemplated by this Prospectus. The following table sets forth the name of each Selling Shareholder, the number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock held by each such person as of July 1, 1997, the number of shares which may be offered for the account of each such person, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be owned by each such person if all the Shares offered hereby are sold.

The Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 27, 1997 (the "Agreement") whereby it acquired ownership of First International through the acquisition of the ownership interests of its partners Morgan Creek Theaters, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Morgan Creek"), SB Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SB Holdings"), and RDL Consulting Limited Liability Company, a Wyoming limited liability company ("RDL Consulting"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the shareholders of Morgan Creek received 122,477 shares of Class A Common Stock, the members of RDL Consulting received cash plus 6,509 shares of Class A Common Stock, and the shareholders of SB Holdings received cash. James G. Robinson and Gary Barber were the sole shareholders of Morgan Creek and are the sole shareholders of Morgan Creek Productions, Inc. Ron D. Leslie was the owner of 95% of the ownership interests in RDL Consulting. -6- 9 Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has filed the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part covering the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders. The Company is obligated to use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective, and to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the time when all the Shares have been sold by the Selling Shareholders, and (ii) the earlier of one year following the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement) or such earlier time, if any, as to which Rule 144 shall be available for resales of the Shares. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Agreement, other than brokerage fees or commissions, underwriting discounts and fees of any counsel for the Selling Shareholders. Any of the Shares sold pursuant to this Prospectus will no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Agreement. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, if any, who acquire the Shares in transactions permitted under the Agreement. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Shares may be sold by one or more of the following: (a) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; and (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts from Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. Upon the Company being notified by a Selling Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplemented prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. The Selling Shareholders have agreed to pay any brokerage fees or commissions, underwriting discounts and fees of any counsel for the Selling Shareholders in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares. All other expenses in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares hereunder will be paid by the Company. The securities laws of a particular state might require that the Shares be sold in that state only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. -7- 10 The Company has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement covering the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the time when all the Shares have been sold by the Selling Shareholders, and (ii) the earlier of one year following the Closing Date or such earlier time, if any, as to which Rule 144 shall be available for resales of the Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company and the Selling Shareholders have agreed to indemnify each other and certain other parties, including underwriters, if any, for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the registration of the Shares. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Troutman Sanders LLP, Atlanta, Georgia. Carl E.

Section 145 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code gives a corporation power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The same Section also gives a corporation power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Also, the Section states that, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Article VI of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company shall indemnify the directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law. II-1 12 Article 9 of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides in regard to the limitation of liability of directors and officers as follows: No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction for which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This Article NINTH shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the time this Article NINTH became effective. II-2 13 ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.

UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change in such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Registrant need not file a post-effective amendment to include the information required to be included by subsection (i) or (ii) if such information is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its II-3 14 counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-4 15 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment to its Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, on October 20, 1997.
