The Sheridan Drive In was the first in the Tulsa area to close I believe. Development along Sheridan was exploding in the 1960s and a housing edition took over the property by 1967.

In the 2021 historic picture book Tulsa Movie Theaters, the authors wrote: “The Sheridan Drive-In … operated until 1963 at 4500 South Sheridan Road.”

But in the Motion Picture Almanac’s circuit list, the Video Independent Theatres chain included the Sheridan through the 1964 edition. In 1965, Video’s entry didn’t mention the Sheridan. No idea where the drive-in list people got that “Metropolitan Theas.”

Above address is incorrect. Approx. address for this drive-in was 2 blocks south @ 4700 block.
