The Holiday Drive-In was advertised as being in Rushville but was actually located between Rushville and Greensburg on Route 3. Opening date was August 30, 1956 with Robert Taylor in “Many Rivers To Cross” and Shelly Winters in “Tennessee Champ”. It appears to have closed on regular release movies by 1977, but continued by screening adult movies into the early-1980’s. It returned to mainstream movies on September 15, 1989 and closed on September 23, 1991.
It was immediatetly demolished and the site reverted back to farmland.

It must have continued past 1977, as I found an ad for the Holiday from 1978 showing X-rated films
The drive-in appears intact and perhaps was operational in a 1983 aerial. By 1998 it had been completely demolished.
Today, all traces of the drive in have been plowed away.
Actually, the Holiday Drive-In ran its last regular films in late-1974, and the theater flipped its format to X-rated films.
This lasted for another fifteen years until the middle of the 1989 season, when new management dropped the porn and brought back the Hollywood after more than a decade of disgusting content. The Holiday Drive-In relaunched as a mainstream drive-in on September 15, 1989 with “Ghostbusters II” and “The Karate Kid Part III”. Its last adult movie was screened five days prior.
Unfortunately this did not last long, and the Holiday Drive-In closed after the 1991 season on September 23, 1991 with “Terminator 2” and “Boogy Man & Beyond Fog”.
Demolished immediately right after closure.
