Sorry to say that santikos has already signed a the paperwork with the city to purchase it for 3 million the only thing standing in the way now is for the city to vote on thrursday for appoval of the deal and then the mission will be torn down!
well bad news today ksat 12 is reporting that the city of san antonio is wanting to puchase the drive in and demolish it in order to build a libary and section 8 housing. the city will take it up at a the next meeting this thursday. Say goodbye to the cities last drive in!
mission4 is now closed for the season.
Ksat 12 was live at the mission and speaking from someone who is in the business i figured it would sell out this weekend but the real test will be what kind of numbers can the drive in bring in overall for the entire fall season. The mission suffered alot of damage like the projectors were more than likely almost completly destroyed scope lens alone cost alot used about $500.00. So what i am trying to say is unless over the fall season if customers show up in droves the the mission is saved if say in a month they can only say sell half of what they are doing this weekend then more than likely the mission will be closed for good cause without a regular steady turn out for santikos to recover alot of the loses they just cant keep it open and i wouldnt blame them.
The 9 pm news tonight reported that Santikos sold out tonight with more than 1,000 cars showing up!
I feel like driving out there just to support it. Of course it’s 1858 miles from my front door, but so what.
Good News santikos said today that the mission will be reopening this august 24th with second run double features on two screens only and that the conncession stand will be selling only drinks popcorn and candy. The Theatre is will charge $5.00 per car load and will close for the season at the end of november. There is still damage to the concession stand and santikos did say that they did not know if the mission would reopen next spring or not.
i would like to know if there is anything being done to presever the hoistory of the mission 4 drive in and if there anything ppl from san antonio can do to help save the mission and help getting it fix and clean up the drive bring alot to the community of san antonio and has alot of values Memories with alot of people and family i wud like to help in protecting wat the dive in movies bring to san antonio i think san antonio in all wud appericate it running back up again just let me know if there any thing ppl can do to help thank you .
The mission is closed for 07 season and the way it is looking the only thing the mission will be seeing are bulldozers.
The Mission opened as a single screen theatre in 1948. In the late 50s it was converted to a twin, and in 1978 two more screens were added. The original screen tower style was like many Texas drive ins built by the original owner. The San Antonio Alamo drive in’s screen tower was a mirror image of the Mission’s. The original mural on the Mission Drive in’s tower was a painting of Mission San Jose with the bells in San Jose animated with swaying neon.
one thing i would like to point out is when santikos took it back from cinemark they remodled the conncession stant and cleaned the place up very well before it had over grown weeds and was in need of a paint job
