The New Albany Drive-In opened its gates on July 9, 1954 with Jeff Hunter in “Three Young Texans”, William Holden in “Escape From Fort Bravo”, and John Wayne in “Island In The Sky” with no extra short subjects.
The New Albany Drive-In looks like it closed for the final time on September 5, 1994 with “Jurassic Park” and “Forrest Gump” as its final films. A 1995 article said that the drive-in didn’t reopen in mid-1995.
A 1992 aerial shows it still intact with screen and by 1998 it was levelled with no trace left. Probably closed between 1994 and 1998.
Those films “Wolf” and “Wyatt Earp” were both released in 1994, so I guess the New Albany was still there at that time
July 9th, 1954 grand opening ad in photo section.
It was there in the mid-80’s. Had the FM radio setting but still retained the speakers.
Serpico, not services.
I saw paper moon, services, and save the tiger in ‘74
This theater operated up until the mid 1990s because I went to it a few times as a kid.
Matt, in 1956 it was owned by S. Baird.
