Appears to be still operating into the mid-1980s, judging by a 1985 aerial view with its screen, glory, and good condition. It was already gone by the mid-1990s.

A 1978 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory just before the property was sold in September of that same year. All had already vanished by 1983.

Gone by the early-1980s, as a 1984 aerial view shows tiny homes and several businesses.

The screen tower’s skeleton may be rusty, but otherwise I agree. The rest of the theater is in good shape.

Most likely closed in the late-1970s or early-1980s.

50sSNIPES commented about Riverview Drive-In on Mar 29, 2026 at 12:52 pm

A 1985 aerial view shows the drive-in, but it appears to be closed. There’s a line indicating where the screen is, meaning that the screen is still standing. It was already wiped by the early-1990s.

Still listed in the 1994 topo, but is most likely gone by then, as confirmed in the 1998 aerial.
