Actual closing date is October 13, 1985 with a dusk-to-dawn show of “Invasion USA”, “The Party Animal”, “Mission In Action” and “Mission In Action 2: The Beginning”.

This is most likely the replacement of the downtown Capitol Twin Theatre.

Most likely closed on April 29, 1999, due to the launch of the nearby Gallery Cinemas.

The Fox T&D actually closed on Christmas Eve 1929 with Grant Withers in the 1929 version of “The Time, The Place, And The Girl” (unknown if extras added). The newer Fox Theatre opened on Christmas Day 1929, which is the following day.

Later operated by Mann Theatres, and last operated by Syufy Enterprises. I’m very sure June 8, 1989 is the exact closing date.

Judging by newspaper archives, the Fox Theatre indeed closed on March 30, 1988 with “Police Academy 5 - Assignment Miami Beach”.

Opened with “The Singing Nun”.

50sSNIPES commented about Bethel Drive-In on Mar 31, 2026 at 5:31 pm

I think its billing meant to be the smallest in the state, and not the smallest in the world. The Randall opened with “Forbidden” and “Creature From The Black Lagoon” (unknown if extras added), and was named after its original owner, Alan Randall.

50sSNIPES commented about New Huntington Theater on Mar 31, 2026 at 6:53 am

Opened on November 9, 1904 with Maude Adams in a live presentation of “The Little Minister”. It was also a replacement of an earlier Huntington Theatre that operated as early as 1890. The opening of the nearby Huntington 7 Theatre caused the closure of the downtown Huntington Theatre as a movie theater in 1999.

Closed in the mid-1980s, and demolished in 1986 to make way for the Caylor Nickel Medical Center, which opened on June 24, 1987.

Closed on May 28, 1961 with “The Long Rope” and “The Big Country” (unknown if extras added). It was last known as 80 Drive-In.

The Walmart opened at the site on April 19, 2006 as a replacement of an earlier location that had been operating since June 30, 1987.

Still visible in the 1966 aerial view with its screen and glory, but was already wiped by the late-1970s. For some strange reason, it was still listed in the 1977 topo but I’m very sure it was already gone by then.

The remains of the drive-in are wiped by the early-1980s.

Judging by 1980, it appears to be in operational condition. However, the screen was removed by 1984, but the traces are still clean judging by that year’s aerial view.
