Starlite Drive-In

Closed and demolished. The ‘new’ Starlite only operated for almost two months, and was demolished right after the ‘new’ Starlite’s only partial season which featured a selection of first-runs, second-runs, independents, classics, and family-oriented films (as well as films that were filmed in Montana) all on a 25ft daylight LED screen.

The theater closed on September 19, 2020 with a one-day showing of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” (although its last classic film shown there was the 1964 Disney classic “Mary Poppins” a day prior. What’s funny about it is that they placed a photo of a crooked 2004 United Kingdom Disney DVD cover of the movie on its website rather than the original 1964 poster that most theaters have placed. It appears that the only one person just copied a random image of the movie off of Google or some site and placed it on its website for some funny reason).

Its website which was created by SquareSpace only lasted until October 2020 when their website license expired. Aerial views from a year later show nothing being left, although there was a blue house on the property that could be its former concession stand.
