International Drive-In

Located in the center of Bayamon, Puerto Rico’s second largest city, this was a favorite for families living in San Juan and Bayamon. Cars driving by would always catch a glimpse of the movie playing. Its biggest years of popularity occurred during the 1960’s when it played second run movies.

Its location in the middle of the city was a deciding factor in its closing since the real estate value of the area climbed immensely.

The International Drive-In closed down in the mid to late-1980’s and was torn down.

PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS TO:

DAVILA, BAYAMON, PURETO RICO, 00950

State Road #2 on the Map shows the Southern United States and Central America. PR-2 would have at least got it on the correct road.

Anyone have more info or photos?

JJ: The drive-in in Carolina was called the 65th Infantry Drive-In, since it was located on 65 de Infanteri­a Avenue. It was owned by Wometco Commonwealth.

The Drive-in from Bayamón did NOT closed in the early 70’s. I have a picture of the drive in marquee where it was showing “Instant Justice” (1986) and “Platoon” (1989) it must have closed in the late 80s

Doesn’t even look like the land was used immediately for retail shops. Nature was overtaking the land for a few years at least according to the aerial photo.
