Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Carmike Cinemas, Inc.

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (the “DGCL”), our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Such provision, however, does not eliminate a director’s liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock purchases or redemptions); or (iv) for a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

As permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify any and all persons whom we have the power to indemnify under the DGCL from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by Section 145 of the DGCL, and the indemnification provided for in the certificate of incorporation shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

Further, our by-laws provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL upon a determination by a majority of the board of directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or by the stockholders that the person seeking indemnification has acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Any expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

We may, to the extent authorized by the board of directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to our employees and agents similar to those conferred to our directors and officers as described above.

We have entered into indemnity agreements with our directors and certain executive officers. The indemnity agreements provide a contractual right to indemnification to the indemnities for certain expenses incurred due to actions, suits or other proceedings brought against them in their capacity as directors, officers, employees or agents of us or any of our subsidiaries.

 

II-1


We have insurance policies providing for indemnification of officers and directors against liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain proceedings and under certain conditions, such as in the absence of fraud.

Other Registrants Incorporated in Delaware

The governing documents of each of the registrants incorporated in Delaware provide, in effect, that, to the fullest extent and under the circumstances permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, each of the registrants incorporated in Delaware will indemnify any and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation of each of the registrants incorporated in Delaware relieves its directors from monetary damages to it or its stockholders for breach of such director’s fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Under Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, a corporation may relieve its directors from personal liability to such corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of their fiduciary duty as directors except (i) for a breach of the duty of loyalty, (ii) for failure to act in good faith, (iii) for intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iv) for willful or negligent violations of certain provisions in the DGCL imposing certain requirements with respect to stock repurchases, redemptions and dividends, or (v) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Eastwynn Theatres, Inc.

Code of Alabama, 1975, Section 10-2B-8.51 and 10-2B-8.56 gives a corporation power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal because 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, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) or reasonable expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, when acting in his or her official capacity with the corporation, or, in all other cases, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The same Sections also give 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 by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor 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, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, when acting in his or her official capacity with the corporation or, in all other cases, not opposed to the best interest of the corporation. No indemnification shall be made, however, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person officer, director, employee or agent shall have not met the applicable standard of conduct, if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or, in connection with any other action, suit or proceeding charging improper personal benefit to such person, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity, if such person was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, unless and only to the extent that 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 such court shall deem proper.

Also, Section 10-2B-8.52 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, where he was a party because he or she is or was a director of the corporation, he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, notwithstanding that he has not been successful on any other claim, issue or matter in any such action, suit or proceeding.

 

II-2


The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Eastwynn Theatres, Inc. provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent of Alabama law.

GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc.

The Indiana Business Corporation Law (“BCL”), empowers an Indiana corporation to indemnify present and former directors, officers, employees or agents or any person who may have served at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation (“Eligible Persons”) against liability incurred in any proceeding, civil or criminal, in which the Eligible Person is made a party by reason of being or having been in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, if the individual acted in good faith and reasonably believed that (a) the individual was acting in the best interests of the corporation, (b) if the challenged action was taken other than in the individual’s official capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent, the individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, or (c) if a criminal proceeding, either the individual had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The BCL further empowers a corporation to pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an Eligible Person in connection with the defense of any such claim including counsel fees, and, unless limited by its Articles of Incorporation, the corporation is required to indemnify a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses if he or she is wholly successful in any such proceeding, on the merits or otherwise. Under certain circumstances, a corporation may pay or reimburse an Eligible Person for reasonable expenses prior to final disposition of the matter. Unless a corporation’s Articles of Incorporation otherwise provide, a director or officer of the corporation may apply for indemnification to a court which may order indemnification upon a determination that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances without regard to whether his or her actions satisfied the requisite standard of conduct.

Before a corporation may indemnify any Eligible Person against liability or reasonable expenses under the BCL, a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding must (1) determine that indemnification is permissible in the specific circumstances because an Eligible Person met the requisite standard of conduct, (2) authorize the corporation to indemnify the Eligible Person and (3) if appropriate, evaluate the reasonableness of expenses for which indemnification is sought. If it is not possible to obtain a quorum of uninvolved directors, the foregoing action may be taken by a committee of two or more directors who are not parties to the proceeding, special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or such a committee, or by the shareholders of the corporation.

In addition to the foregoing, the BCL states that the indemnification it provides shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, resolution or other authorization adopted, after notice, by a majority vote of all the voting shares then issued and outstanding. The BCL also empowers an Indiana corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Eligible Person against any liability asserted against or incurred by him or her in any capacity as such, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have had the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc. do not contain any provisions which limit or alter the indemnification provided for in the BCL.

Item 17. Undertakings

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; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. Provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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.

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.

4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(a) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(b) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

II-5


(b) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(c) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(d) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

6. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.

7. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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 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 counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

8. To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

  RE: Carmike Cinemas, Inc. — Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Carmike Cinemas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-167383) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement relates to the offering from time to time, as set forth in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) and as to be set forth in one or more supplements to the Prospectus (each such supplement, a “Prospectus Supplement”), of (i) the Company’s common stock, par value $0.03 per share (“Common Stock”), (ii) debt securities of the Company (“Debt Securities”), (iii) guarantees of the Debt Securities (the “Guarantees”) by one or more of Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., an Alabama corporation, and GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc., an Indiana corporation (collectively, the “Other Guarantors”), and George G. Kerasotes Corporation, a Delaware corporation, GKC Michigan Theatres, Inc., a Delaware corporation, GKC Theatres, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and Military Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Delaware Guarantors” and with the Other Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), (iv) the Company’s preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Preferred Stock”), (v) depositary shares, each representing a fractional interest in a share of Preferred Stock (“Depositary Shares”) and (vi) warrants for the purchase of any of the Debt Securities, Depositary Shares, Preferred Stock or Common Stock (“Warrants”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed $175,000,000. The Depositary Shares are to be issued from time to time pursuant to a deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company and a bank or trust company selected by the Company. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Registration Statement.

The Debt Securities are to be issued under an indenture among the Company, the Guarantors, if applicable, and a trustee to be named at the time such Debt Securities are issued (the “Indenture”). We have examined the form of Indenture, form of Debt


Carmike Cinemas, Inc.

Securities and form of Guarantees, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, original, certified, conformed or photographic copies of such corporate records of the Company and the Guarantors, such certificates of public officials, officers of the Company and the Guarantors and other persons, and such other documents, records, agreements and certificates as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed or photographic copies, and, as to certificates of public officials, we have assumed the same to be accurate and to have been given properly.

We have assumed that the execution and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations under, the Indenture will be duly authorized by all requisite action by each party thereto, and that such agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and will be a valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto (other than the Company and the Delaware Guarantors) enforceable against the parties thereto (other than the Company and the Delaware Guarantors) in accordance with its terms.

We have assumed without independent investigation that, with respect to the Debt Securities and any Guarantees, that at the time they are sold, the relevant trustee shall have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), a Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on Form T-1 shall have been properly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Indenture shall have been duly qualified under the TIA.

Insofar as the opinion set forth in paragraph (iv) relates to matters governed by the laws of the States of Alabama and Indiana, we have relied, with the consent of the following counsel, upon the opinions, dated as of the date hereof, of Page, Scrantom, Sprouse, Tucker & Ford, P.C., with respect to Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., and Barnes & Thornburg LLP, with respect to GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc. Our opinions with respect to such matters are subject to the same qualifications, assumptions and limitations as are set forth in those opinions.

The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware (which includes the Delaware General Corporation Law, applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial interpretations concerning those laws), and no opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or any effect which such laws may have on the opinions expressed herein. The opinions expressed herein are limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

  (iii) Upon due authorization, the Guarantees of the Delaware Guarantors, when (a) the Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantors (if applicable) and the relevant trustee, (b) the definitive terms and provisions of such Guarantees have been duly established, (c) any supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantors (if applicable) and the relevant trustee, (d) all agreements relating to any collateral or security arrangements have been validly executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Guarantors and any other parties thereto and (e) when the Debt Securities are duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors and authenticated by the trustee in accordance with the indenture and when the Debt Securities have been delivered against payment therefor, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Delaware Guarantors, enforceable against the Delaware Guarantors in accordance with their terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles and the discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies.

  (v) Upon the due authorization of the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock and the issuance and sale thereof as described in the Registration Statement (together with any applicable Prospectus Supplement), such shares of Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

  (vi) Upon the due authorization of the issuance of the Depositary Shares, the issuance and sale thereof as described in the Registration Statement (together with any applicable Prospectus Supplement) and the issuance and delivery thereof in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, such Depositary Shares will have been validly issued, and will represent a fractional interest in a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Preferred Stock.

 

  (vii) Upon the due authorization of the Warrants and the issuance and sale thereof as described in the Registration Statement (together with any applicable Prospectus Supplement) and when duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the applicable warrant agent in accordance with the applicable warrant agreement, the Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles and the discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that come to our attention or changes in law that occur which could affect the opinions contained herein.

  RE: Carmike Cinema Inc.’s (“Carmike”) filing of its registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-167383) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the offer and sale, from time to time, of securities, including debt securities of Carmike (“Debt Securities”) and guarantees thereof by Carmike’s subsidiaries, including Eastwynn Theatres, Inc. (the “Guarantee”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As counsel for Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Alabama (the “Company”), in connection with captioned matter, we have examined originals, or photostatic or certified copies, of:

 

  (a) the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Articles of Incorporation, effective as of January 31, 2002, and filed with the Judge of Probate, Montgomery County, Alabama, as amended by those certain Articles of Correction to the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Articles of Incorporation of Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., effective as of February 3, 2004 filed with the Judge of Probate, Montgomery County, Alabama.

 

  (b) the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.

 

  (c) the Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors of Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., dated June 4, 2010, authorizing the execution and filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC and execution of the Guarantee.

 

  (d) Such other documents, records and certificates of public officials, of the Company and of officers of the Company as we have deemed necessary and relevant for the opinions set forth herein (the documents set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) hereinafter referred to as the “Company Documents”).

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. Our opinions assume that each of the parties (other than the Company) to each particular Company Document we reviewed in our examination has the power and legal capacity to execute said Company Document, has duly executed said Company Document, and that such document is legal, valid and binding and enforceable against such other party.

Our opinion is based solely on the current actual knowledge of our firm’s attorneys who have performed legal services for the Company. The actual knowledge of our firm’s attorneys consists solely of matters actually known to them or disclosed in the course of our internal review procedures in connection with the preparation of this


opinion or in our representation of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically indicated herein, we have made no independent investigation as to such factual matters and disclaim any responsibility to do so. However, we have no actual knowledge of any facts which lead us to believe such factual matters are untrue or inaccurate.

Based upon my examination mentioned above and relying on statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined it is my opinion that:

(a) Eastwynn Theatres, Inc. is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Alabama and has all requisite power and authority to enable it to execute, deliver and perform its Guarantee;

(b) such execution, delivery and performance will not violate or conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order, decree, judgment, instrument or agreement binding upon or applicable to the Company or its properties; and

(c) the Guarantees of Eastwynn Theatres, Inc. will, assuming due execution thereof by the Company, constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company under the laws of the State of Alabama.

This opinion is, as to the binding effect and enforceability of the aforesaid Company Documents, subject to (i) bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization, or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, (ii) limitations imposed by general principles of equity upon specific enforcement, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.

The undersigned is licensed to practice law in the State of Alabama. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement and this opinion may be relied on only by the party to whom it is addressed and its counsel, King & Spalding LLP, for the limited purpose of the captioned matter and the opinions are limited by, and reference is made to, the laws of the State of Alabama and the United States of America as of the date hereof.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update, revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.

Very truly yours,

July 7, 2010

GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc.

c/o Carmike Cinemas, Inc.

1301 First Avenue

Columbus, Georgia 31901

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-167383) (the “Registration Statement”) of Carmike Cinemas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Carmike”) and GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Indiana Subsidiary”), Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., an Alabama corporation, George G. Kerasotes Corporation, a Delaware corporation, GKC Michigan Theatres, Inc., a Delaware corporation, GKC Theatres, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Military Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with the Indiana Subsidiary, the “Guarantors”), filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the offer and sale by Carmike of up to $175,000,000 of debt securities of Carmike (the “Debt Securities”) and related joint and several guarantees by the Guarantors of the Debt Securities (the “Guarantees”) to be issued and sold under the provisions of an indenture in the form attached to the Registration Statement as Exhibit 4.1 (an “Indenture”). We have examined such records, certificates and other documents and have made such investigation of law as we have deemed necessary in the circumstances.

In connection with rendering the opinions set forth hereinafter, we have reviewed the following (collectively, the “Documents”):

(a) The Registration Statement;

(b) Articles of Incorporation of the Indiana Subsidiary, including any and all amendments thereto, certified by an officer of the Indiana Subsidiary as of the date hereof;

(c) Bylaws of the Indiana Subsidiary certified by an officer of the Indiana Subsidiary as of the date hereof;

(d) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Indiana Subsidiary certified by an officer of the Indiana Subsidiary as of the date hereof;


GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc.

(e) Such other documents, records and instruments as we have deemed necessary in connection with the rendering of this opinion; and

(f) A certificate of existence dated as of July 7, 2010 with respect to the Indiana Subsidiary issued by the Indiana Secretary of State.

For purposes of this opinion, we have, with your consent, assumed:

(a) The legal capacity of all signatories;

(b) The genuineness of the signatures of the persons signing the Documents;

(c) The authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals;

(d) The conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the completeness thereof;

(e) The legal existence of all parties to the Documents other than the Indiana Subsidiary; and

(f) For purposes of the opinions set forth in opinion paragraph 3 below, there are no changes in the laws, rules or regulations of the State of Indiana applicable to the Indiana Subsidiary between the date of this opinion and the date of issuance of any of the Debt Securities or the Guarantees under an Indenture as contemplated by the Registration Statement.

We have also relied as to factual matters (as opposed to legal matters or conclusions) upon statements, representations and certificates or other documents made or furnished to us by officers and other representatives of the Indiana Subsidiary or by governmental authorities and upon such other documents and data as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to render the opinions expressed below. Nothing has come to our attention to suggest that our reliance upon the representations, certificates and documents so provided is not reasonable under the circumstances.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to further qualifications and limitations hereinafter set forth, it is our opinion that:

1. The Indiana Subsidiary is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of Indiana.

2. The Indiana Subsidiary has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform the Guarantees pursuant to the terms of an Indenture as contemplated by the Registration Statement;


GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc.

July 7, 2010

Page 3

3. When (i) the steps mentioned in the next paragraph have been taken, and (ii) the Debt Securities and the Guarantees shall have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with an Indenture against payment therefor, (a) the Guarantees by the Indiana Subsidiary will be valid and binding obligations of the Indiana Subsidiary, and (b) such execution, authentication, delivery and performance will not violate any law, rule or regulation of the State of Indiana applicable to the Indiana Subsidiary.

The steps to be taken which are referred to in the next preceding paragraph are:

1. Any Indenture or supplemental Indenture to be entered into in connection with the issuance of the Debt Securities and Guarantees has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the applicable trustee, Carmike and the applicable Guarantors (including the Indiana Subsidiary);

2. The specific terms of the particular Debt Securities and Guarantees have been duly authorized and established in accordance with the applicable Indenture and/or supplemental Indenture;

3. The Debt Securities and the Guarantees have been issued and sold and the purchase price for the Debt Securities and the Guarantees has been paid in accordance with the transactions proposed in the applicable Indenture and/or supplemental Indenture and in the Registration Statement, as the same may be amended;

4. Appropriate definitive action by the Board of Directors of each of Carmike and the applicable Guarantors (including the Indiana Subsidiary) or an authorized committee thereof with respect to the proposed transactions set forth in the applicable Indenture and/or supplemental Indenture and in the Registration Statement;

5. Compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state blue sky laws and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; and

6. Issuance and sale of the Debt Securities and Guarantees in accordance with the corporate authorization aforesaid.

A.

We are responding to the Staff’s comments contained in its letter, dated June 29, 2010. For your convenience, this letter sets forth in italics each of the Staff’s comments before each response.

General

1. The opinion on page 2 makes the inappropriate assumptions that “(a) the Other Guarantors are corporations existing and in good standing. . ., (b) such execution, delivery and performance will not violate or conflict with any law. . . and (c) the Guarantees of the Other Guarantors will constitute a valid and binding obligation of such Other Guarantors under the laws of their respective states of incorporation.” An opinion may refer to another that opines that such is the case, but it may not make these assumptions. Please revise to delete them.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment; therefore, the opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 with Amendment No. 1 has been revised to refer to the separate opinions of Alabama and Indiana counsel filed as Exhibits 5.2 and 5.3, respectively.

2. In addition, we note that your legal opinion is limited to U.S. federal law, the laws of New York, and the corporate laws of Delaware. However, we also note that two subsidiary guarantors are incorporated or organized in states other than New York or Delaware. Please revise your legal opinion so that it also covers the laws of those respective jurisdictions or file separate opinions

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has filed separate opinions of Alabama and Indiana counsel with Amendment No. 1 as Exhibits 5.2 and 5.3, respectively.
