50sSNIPES commented about Odeon Nottingham on Jun 26, 2024 at 8:33 am

Its third-screen, Odeon 3, opened on June 10, 1970, and the theater became known as the “Odeon 1-2-3”.

  • The third screen went under its original auditorium name “Odeon 3 Mini Cine”, but was quickly renamed simply “Odeon 3” a couple years later.

The Stardust Drive-In opened its gates on October 12, 1950 with Walt Disney’s “So Dear To My Heart” with no extra short subjects. What’s very unique is that the Stardust Drive-In was originally operated by the city’s mayor at the time, Carl Huff.

A 1983 aerial view shows construction being started, meaning that it either opened later that year or the following year.
