News About This Theater
- Apr 13, 2014 — West Rome Drive-in closes
- Jun 17, 2011 — Auto Group takeover pushes drive-in's future into doubt
The West Rome Drive-in located on Route 69 opened on June 6, 1951 with Red Skelton in “Watch the Birdie” & Ben Johnson in “Wagonmaster”. It was a single screen drive-in. In 1985 a second screen was added. This drive-in has a capacity for 500 cars.
On April 10, 2014, the owners of the drive-in, Davidson Auto Group, announced that the West Rome Drive-In would not be opening for the summer 2014 season. The reason given was the cost of conversion to digital projection and poor attendances. It had been demolished by 2019.

So many drive-ins today have flea market Sundays to make financial ends meet in today’s world.
I think it good they has flea markets to help keep prices down for people.
was demolished in 2015 and a couple of businesses were built on the site. now there is no trace of the drive-in remaining except for the general shape sadly.
Opened on 2/6/1951 with “Watch the birdie” and “The wagonmaster”. New Dolby sound system was added in 2004. Site is now Davidson Chervrolet-Buick-Cadillac-GMC dealership and service center.
Has since been demolished please update
