Correction: The Community Drive-In’s exact closing date is September 20, 1987 with “The Big Easy” and “No Way Out”, and not August 15, 1977 with “The Deep” and “Fun With Dick And Jane”. Please fix it immediately.

Big Correction: The theater did not close “for the final time” after the 1977 season. It was still open in 1978 and beyond until closing “for the final time” on September 20, 1987 with “The Big Easy” and “No Way Out”. It was already demolished by the early-1990s.

It appears that right when the theater opened, there was a lack of both a manager and a projectionist.

JF Theatres already sold most of their theaters to Loews in October 1988, so I’m very sure this is probably one of the very last JFs in the chain.
