I’ve put together a booking history for the South Drive-in, from 1949 up to 1978 so far, in case anyone might like to know when a particular movie played there. I’ll be happy to share my research with you. Take care – Ken Mitchell ()
On its Grand Opening night, the South showed “Mr. Belvedere Goes to College” with Clifton Webb, the short “Spirit of ‘49” with Jack Benny, “and Color Cartoon”.
A more accurate address for this theater is 1503 W Belleview Ave, Littleton, CO 80120. This points directly to the entrance road next to South Windermere hence South Drive In. The above address is incorrect. The above address is across the street and further east by the zoo and the water park.
Please update.

The South drive-in opened on 7/1/49. I’m putting together a series of books on the Denver area’s drive-ins and indoor theatres. If anyone has questions on the subject, I’ll be happy to share my research with you. Thanks ! Ken Mitchell –
Englewood is a city, not a district of Littleton (also a city) The South Drive-In was in Englewood, CO 80110. The park there now is in both Englewood (the site of the former South Drive-In) and Littleton which is across Belleview to the south. Belleview is the divide between the two cities.
Was part of the Wolfberg Theatres/Compass Drive-In Theatres chain.
