The Jasper Theatre is actually still open in 1983, and most likely into the mid-1980s. I cannot find its closing date because of newspaper archives from 1983 to 1989 are missing.
Jasper also had another first-run movie house around that time called the Main Street Theatre, which operated in both the 1980s and 1990s.
A 1980 aerial view shows the drive-in, but I cannot tell its condition. Almost everything remained standing after closure, as a 1990 aerial view confirms that the traces, screen, and concession building are still intact. The traces and screen were removed later in the 1990s, with the traces only remaining until around 2018.
A 1980 aerial view shows the drive-in appearing to be dead, despite the clean traces and everything remain standing, several trees grew on the site. It was already demolished by 1985.
Actual closing date is January 2, 2000. Carmike also closed the Waverly Place 6 that same day. Both theaters marked one of the first theaters to close in the 21st century.
A 1985 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, appearing to be in operational shape. Its most likely demolished during the early-1990s, and that’s when the Walmart opened at the site on January 31, 1995.
Opened on March 29, 1948. Despite the 1982 aerial view showing the drive-in with everything, a 1984 topo does not show the drive-in being listed, meaning that this has to be closed sometime in the early-1980s. As mentioned above, it was already gone by the early-1990s as Weis was built at the site.
Still open in the mid-1980s, but was gone by the early-1990s. A 1983 aerial view shows the drive-in with its screen and glory, in great condition and appearing to be operational. It was wiped by the early-1990s, as traces and the foundations of the concession building are still visible. Both of which are gone by the early-2000s.
Still open in 1983. I saw late-December 1982 showtimes that it continued operating into 1983.

Traces remained visible right after demolition, but was gone after the 1980s.
Demolished in the late-1980s.
Still open in 1983.
The concession building was replaced by a house shortly after demolition.
Most likely demolished immediately after closure.

Still listed in the 1989 topo.
Demolished in the early-1970s.
Still listed in the 1976 topo, but I cannot confirm if its still operating at the time.
Closed during the 1970s. A 1978 aerial view shows the theater falling into disrepair.

This was built partially on site of the Bay State Drive-In.
