This was also the first indoor movie theater to be operated by Tentelino Theatres, and the second movie theater to be operated by them.

50sSNIPES commented about Midway 9 Theatre on Jan 4, 2026 at 2:06 pm

This was also the last movie theater ever to be operated by Tentelino Theatres, which unfortunately tossed the job over to CEC Theatres on November 1, 2016.

  • Correction: Tentelino was the one who added the remaining two screens during the 2000s that brought the number of screens to 9, not CEC.

Already dead and gone in the early-1980s, but most likely shows its shape.

50sSNIPES commented about Lincoln Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 1:58 pm

It was already closed during the early-1980s, as a 1984 aerial view shows a building covering half of the traces, despite the screen and concession/projection booth still standing. The concession/projection booth continued to stand after the screen was removed by the end of the decade. I cannot tell if its foundations are still standing today or covered in ashes.

After its 1983 closure, its screen and concession/projection booth remained standing while the traces fade to grass. Both of those were gone by the end of the decade.

Still open in 1986, but was already demolished by 1991.

50sSNIPES commented about 75 Hi Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 1:54 pm

Appears operational in the early-1980s. The theater was still there in the 1991 aerial view, but I cannot tell if the screen was there or if the theater was in good condition at the time.

A 1981 aerial view shows the theater building, meaning that it operated as early as that year.

50sSNIPES commented about Airport Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 1:01 pm

Once operated by Tentelino Theatres. It appears that it was still open in the mid-1980s. A 1991 aerial view shows the theater with the screen and glory but I cannot confirm their condition. It was already gone by 2003.

50sSNIPES commented about Cine 5 Theatre on Jan 4, 2026 at 12:57 pm

Most likely opened in the early-1980s. I’m very sure Tentelino Theatres was its original operator because they operated both the Border Theatre and the Parkway Drive-In around that same time.

Tentelino Theatres operated the Northland before the Excellence Theatres takeover in 1988.

50sSNIPES commented about Cinema III on Jan 4, 2026 at 12:49 pm

Correction: The closure was due to the nearby Midway Mall Cinema III expanding to five screens (then known as Midway Mall Cinema V, which is now the Midway 9 Theatre, and will have its own CT page soon). The closure of the Cinema III also caused the closure of the downtown Andria Twin Theatre as a movie theater.

Actual closing date is November 5, 1981.
