Bibb County Commissioners could not come to a decision to grant Amstar 16 on Zebulon Road a license to sell beer and wine.
The movie theater applied for the license in March and appealed after the commission voted to deny the license.
Commissioners AL Tillman and Virgil Watkins voted yes, while Elaine Lucas, Bert Bivins, and Joe Allen voted no.
Valerie Wynn and Mallory Jones both choose to abstain, which means their vote counted as a yes.
They both said they oppose the license, but the county could get sued if they turn Amstar down again.
Commissioners Larry Schlesinger and Scotty Shepherd were absent.
The appeal needed five votes. Since the vote was split 4-3 in favor, the appeal will be reconsidered during next weeks meeting.
