I believe that the State Line Cinema ad is for a different theater than the 125 Drive-In. The Haverhill-Plaistow line is a couple of miles south of the former drive in.

This theater should have a separate entry than the 125 Drive In.
The original 1977 Theater, Newington Cine 1-2-3-4, Cine 1-2-3-4-5-6 was at 2024 Woodbury Ave, Newington, NH. When it was torn down, it was replaced with a Bugaboo Creek Steak House and an I-Hop. The I-Hop is still there.
When I was young, in the 1980’s this was our destination for first-run movies.
I used to drive by here often, in the 1990’s. I never went to a show here, but have been to other Chunky’s in Manchester, NH, Nashua, NH and Haverhill, MA which is now closed.
According to the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s archives, ‘Brentwood, Route 101 Drive-In-Theater Inc.’ registered as a business on April 18, 1962.
I was born in 1966 and grew up in nearby Exeter. I never remember this place being open, but the screen and marquee were still there into the 1980s. I drove by there hundreds of times.
At one time, this road was the major thoroughfare connecting the Portsmouth/seacoast New Hampshire area to the Manchester, NH area. Since then, Route 101 a 4 lane, superhighway has been built parallel to old Route 101. This road where the theater was is now called Route 27.
I was talking to an older gentleman about this place once and he remembered the marquee stating, “Now Playing – Field Mice” No doubt, someone with a sense of humor having fun regarding the overgrown lot.
