There is another drive-in located across the street from the Starvue. In the 1958 aerial view, there are two drive-ins within several hundreds of feet away. The Starvue’s expansion to 803 cars most likely caused the closure of the other drive-in that was eventually demolished to make way for the Village Green Town Center.
The Walmart opened at the site on March 23, 2005 as a replacement of its earlier location a few blocks away that had been operating since November 12, 1985.
Foundations of almost everything remained standing into the 1990s and parts of the 2000s despite overgrown trees by then. The concession building and screen though are already gone by 2005, but traces remain until 2012.
A 1982 aerial view shows the drive-in with its screen and glory, but I cannot tell its condition because of the outer parts that surround it. It was already gone by the mid-1990s. As of 2026, its foundations such as the traces and the concession building still remain.
A section of its traces is gone in the 1964 aerial view, but I cannot tell if it’s still operating or not. It was already gone by 1972, but the concession building and much of the traces most likely survived into the 1980s.
Most likely closed during the 1970s, due to the fact that a 1978 aerial view shows the theater without its screen, but everything remained intact for several more years. Despite several changes by 1985, the concession building and nearly half of the traces survive into the early-1990s. The building was unfortunately gone by 2002, and the rest of the theater was gone by 2006 as a racetrack was constructed at the site.
After its closure, almost everything stood for around two decades. 1978, 1981, 1988, and 1993 aerial views shows the traces and projection/concession building but the screen was completely covered by trees. By 1999, the entire theater was overgrown by trees but there’s a big chance that the concession building remains standing. That unfortunately didn’t last long and was demolished around 2004.
Still intact in the 1993 aerial view but looks vacant. As of 2026, most of the faded traces and the projection/concession building are still present. The marquee sign was gone during the early-2010s with its poles still standing today.
Reason of the mall’s closure is because of the mall becoming a symbol of decline in Prince George’s County due to crime, changing demographics, and retail neglect.
Actual opening date is August 18, 1939 with Jack Benny in “Man About Town” along with Disney’s Donald Duck in “Sea Scouts”, the RKO Sportscope “Kennel Kings”, and the novelty musical short “Three Kings And A Queen”.
Still open in the early-1980s, but was already gone by the mid-1990s.
The screen shown here remained standing for decades until 2011.

Its most likely demolished immediately after closure.

This was sometimes known by Baltimore Sun advertisements as AMC Greenbelt 6.

This operated as early as the early-1950s, although I cannot find any details on if its the original or a relocation.
Actual opening date is August 18, 1939 with Jack Benny in “Man About Town” along with Disney’s Donald Duck in “Sea Scouts”, the RKO Sportscope “Kennel Kings”, and the novelty musical short “Three Kings And A Queen”.
Opened on November 25, 1925.
I’m very sure this closed in the early-1960s.
