I didn’t know this theater also housed a wedding venue. I was like, what the hell is going on?

The Broadway Drive-In opened in 1950 and closed after the 2012 season. As of 2025, everything is still there despite the traces being overgrown.

Someone would’ve saved those films. I’m very sure it has been left abandoned since its final closure in 2012.

50sSNIPES commented about Cinemark Cleburne Cinema 6 on Sep 25, 2025 at 7:49 pm

I cannot officially confirm if the Cinema 6 originally operated as a Martin/Carmike theater before Cinemark took it over on March 17, 1989. That info remains unknown at this time. This was due to the fact that Martin (later Carmike) had previously operated other theaters in Cleburne at the time.

The Esquire Theatre opened its doors by Video Independent Theatres on May 3, 1951. It was later operated by Martin Theatres, then Carmike for a few years, and finally Cinemark for its final “almost” two years in operation. Cinemark operated the Esquire from March 17, 1989 until the Esquire’s closure on January 6, 1991.

Last operated by National Theatre Corporation, closed on April 22, 1993 with “A Few Good Men” in Screen 1 and “Groundhog Day” in Screen 2.

Shortly after its closure, the former theater was then converted to a Hollywood Video (with a GameCrazy added a few years later) but closed in the early-2010s. The former theater now housed a smoke shop.

The equipment in the January 14, 1939 fire was also a total loss alongside most of the entire building. However, the entire front, some side walls, and its marquee and signage survived the fire without a single scratch.
