The Starlite South was twinned in the early-1970s, and was tripled a short time later.
The Starlite South closed for the final time on June 11, 1988. One of its last features according to the Star Tribune of Minneapolis is “The Karate Kid Part II” playing at one screen, but the final features on the other two screens were unknown at this time. It was last managed by Bob Toogood who also operated other theaters and cinemas in Rochester. At the time, the Starlite South housed a total capacity of 800 cars. On its final night of operation, only 150 cars attended its final showings.
The theater is located on 1308 Hadley View Ct NE, Rochester, MN 55906 where a U-Haul and Storage Rentals of America currently occupies the former drive-in site.
