Edited from my October 21, 2025 (9:21 AM) comment:
The Bowdoin closed on June 2, 1983 with “The Outsiders” and “Still Of The Night”. After closing for the 1982 season (which is October 2, 1982 with “Night Shift” and “Caddyshack”), the neighboring’s Brunswick Drive-In management tried to capitalize the Bowdoin before the partial 1983 season, but failed.
Walmart now occupies the former drive-in site, which opened on October 12, 2005 as a replacement of an earlier Walmart that opened nearby on April 30, 1993 and closed the previous day.
