A second screen was added at the start of the 1982 season, becoming a twin-screen drive-in. The Queensway closed on October 12, 1986 with Screen 1 closing with “Stand By Me” and “Nothing In Common” and Screen 2 closing with “Aliens” and “Big Trouble In Little China”.
Grand opening ads in French and English from August 29th, 1963 posted.
Annonce d'inauguration en français et en anglais du 29 août 1963 postée.
That photo, which shows “Grand Opening Thursday” on the marquee, suggests that the opening night really was Thursday, Aug. 29, 1963. Drive-ins often hold invite-only soft openings the night before, so maybe that happened here and misled the Boxoffice correspondent.
