This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are furnished to
the shareholders of Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (the "Company") in connection with
the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on May 9, 1994, at
the offices of Troutman Sanders, NationsBank Plaza, 600 Peachtree Street, 52nd
Floor, Atlanta, Georgia at 11:00 a.m., E.D.T and any adjournments thereof. All
shareholders are encouraged to attend the meeting. Your proxy is requested,
however, whether or not you attend in order to assure maximum participation.
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be requested to act upon the
matters set forth in this proxy statement. If you are not present at the
meeting, your shares can be voted only when represented by proxy. You may
withhold your vote from any nominee for director by writing his name in the
appropriate space on the proxy card. You may cancel your proxy before
balloting begins by notifying the Secretary of the Company in writing at 1301
First Avenue, Columbus, Georgia 31901. In addition, any proxy signed and
returned by you may be revoked at any time before it is voted by delivering a
new duly executed proxy card bearing a later date or by appearing and voting in
person at the meeting. If you return a signed proxy card that does not
indicate your voting preference, the proxy committee will vote your shares for
the election of the nominated directors. It is anticipated that this proxy
statement and accompanying proxy card will first be mailed to the Company's
shareholders on or about March 31, 1994. The Company's 1993 Annual Report to
Shareholders, which should be read in conjunction with the matters discussed in
this proxy statement, is also enclosed. The expenses incidental to the
preparation and mailing of this proxy material are being paid by the Company.
No solicitation is planned beyond the mailing of this proxy material to
shareholders.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1301
First Avenue, Columbus, Georgia 31901-2109. The telephone number is (706)
576-3400.
The close of business on March 15, 1994 has been fixed as the record
date for the determination of shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of
and to vote at the annual meeting. On that date the Company had outstanding
6,554,901 shares of its Class A Common Stock, $.03 par value ("Class A Common
Stock"), and 1,420,700 shares of its Class B Common Stock, $.03 par value
("Class B Common Stock"). Each share of
<PAGE> 4
Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on all
matters properly coming before the meeting. Each share of Class B Common Stock
entitles the holder thereof to ten votes per share on all matters properly
coming before the meeting.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors has nominated the six individuals named below
for election as directors of the Company, each to serve until the next annual
meeting of shareholders and until his respective successor shall be duly
elected and shall qualify. All of the individuals nominated by the Board of
Directors for election are presently directors of the Company. It is the
present intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy to
vote such proxy (unless authority to so vote is withheld) for the election of
the six nominees named below as directors of the Company.
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders
of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at a meeting at
which a quorum is present. "Plurality" means that the individuals who receive
the largest number of votes cast are elected as directors, up to the maximum
number of directors to be chosen at the meeting. Consequently, any shares not
voted (whether by abstention or otherwise) have no impact in the election of
directors except to the extent the failure to vote for an individual results in
another individual receiving a larger number of votes.
The Board of Directors expects that each of the nominees will be
available to stand for election and to serve as director. However, in the
event a vacancy among the original nominees occurs prior to the meeting, the
proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee or nominees named by the Board
and for the remaining nominees.
The following is a brief description of the business experience of
each nominee for at least the past five years. For purposes of this

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors does not have a Compensation Committee. The
full Board of Directors oversees and reviews the administration of the
Company's employee benefit plans and compensation of employees, except for
decisions about awards under the Company's stock option plan, which must be
made solely by the Stock Option Committee in order for the grants or awards
under such plan to satisfy Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
The following is a report submitted by the Board of Directors
addressing the Company's compensation policy as it related to the chief
executive officer and the named executive officers for fiscal year 1993.
Base Salary and Bonuses
The Company does not have a formalized program regarding compensation
of executive officers. The base salaries for the Chairman of the Board and the
Chief Executive Officer are set in accordance with their employment contracts.
See "Employment Contracts." The terms of these contracts were proposed by the
Chairman of the Board and the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Factors
considered by the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer were
subjective and could include their perceptions of the individual's performance,
needs and potential and the Columbus, Georgia economy. The Chairman of the
Board and the Chief Executive Officer inform the Board of Directors as to the
proposed remuneration of the other named executive officers. Again, the
factors considered are usually subjective and could include their perceptions
of each individual's performance, needs and potential and the Columbus, Georgia
economy.
An individual's bonus is based on increases in earnings per share for
the Company's Class A Common Stock. For each $1.00 increase in earnings per
share, an individual receives a bonus of $5,000 multiplied by the number of
bonus points awarded to such individual. The Chairman of the Board informs the
Board of Directors of the proposed number of "bonus points" to be awarded to
the Chief Executive Officer. Factors considered by the Chairman of the Board
are subjective and could include his perception
-13-
<PAGE> 16
of the individual's contribution to the Company's performance. The Chairman of
the Board and the Chief Executive Officer decide the number of "bonus points"
to be awarded to the other named executive officers. Factors considered by the
Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer are subjective and could
include their perceptions of an individual's contributions to the Company's
performance.
Stock Option Plan
The 1986 Carmike Cinemas, Inc. Class A Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
is the Company's long-term incentive plan for executive officers and key
employees. The objective of the Plan is to align executive pay with
shareholder long-term interest by creating a direct link between executive pay
and shareholder return, and to enable executives to develop and maintain a
significant long-term ownership position in the Company's Class A Common Stock.
The Plan authorizes the Stock Option Committee to award stock options
to key employees of the Company. The Stock Option Committee has the power to
determine the individuals to whom stock options are awarded, the terms at which
option grants shall be made and the terms of the options and the number of
shares subject to each option. The size of option grants may be based, in
part, upon position level. No option grants were made in 1993.
Chief Executive Officer Pay
Amounts earned during 1993 by the Chief Executive Officer, Michael W.
Patrick, are shown in the Summary Compensation Table. His base salary was set
pursuant to the terms of Mr. Patrick's employment agreement with the Company.
That agreement provides that Mr. Patrick receive a base annual salary of
$500,000, with annual cost of living adjustments. See "Employment Contracts.".
Mr. Patrick received a bonus of $32,000 in 1993. The amount of his bonus was
based on the increase in earnings per share described in "Base Salary and
Bonuses."

The Board believes that the current subjective process has been
effective in rewarding executives appropriately, and in attracting and
retaining good performers. While the Board is pleased with the current
compensation system, it reserves the right to make such changes to the program
as it deems desirable or necessary in future years.

The above graph compares the performance of the Company with the New York Stock
Exchange Market Index and a group of peer companies with investment weighted on
market capitalization. Companies in the peer group are as follows: AMC
Entertainment, Carmike Cinemas, Cineplex Odeon and Showscan Cp. These
companies were chosen on the basis of being publicly held companies which are
primarily in the movie exhibition business (non drive-in).
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company leases equipment for six of its theatres pursuant to five
equipment lease agreements with Michael W. Patrick and one such agreement with
C.L. Patrick. During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company paid
$93,471 to Michael W. Patrick and $96,000 to C.L. Patrick under these equipment
leases. The Company also has
-16-

an aircraft lease agreement dated July 1, 1983, with C.L.P. Equipment, a sole
proprietorship of which C.L. Patrick is the owner, pursuant to which the
Company paid $190,522 in the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company
believes that these transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company
than terms available from unaffiliated parties in arm's-length transactions.
Any future transactions between the Company and any officer, director, 5%
shareholder or any affiliate thereof will be on terms no less favorable to the
Company than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.
The law firm of Troutman Sanders, Atlanta, Georgia, of which Carl E.
Sanders is the chief partner, provides legal services to the Company.
