The Minot Outdoor Theatre was opened on July 1, 1949 with Robert Young in “Relentless”. It was operated by Triangle Theaters Associates. It was closed in 1966.
It had a nearby neighbor the Starlite Drive-In which had been planned in 1952 to be named Hill Top Drive-In and construction work had begun, but was discontinued until 1963 when it opened, also operated by Triangle Theaters Associates. It closed in 1985 (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures).

The address is the same location as the Starlite Drive-In.
Given that the opening and closing dates are just a few years off, is it possible the Minout and Starlite are the same drive-in?
Kenmore, A newspaper clipping on the Starlite Drive-In page states they are two different theatres.
So, is there another address for the Minot? Because it is in the same location as the Starlite.
It seems to me that they were both on the same plot of land and the Starlite Drive-In is mentioned as being to the south of the Minout Outdoor Theatre.
A closer address is 3108 S Broadway, Minot, ND.
A 1985 aerial shows a distinctive fan-shaped drive-in outline that sits to the north of the Starlite Drive-In. It it impossible to tell where the entrance road was, but a reasonable guess is where the strip mall currently stands.
The area is now totally changed with new roads and several buildings that sit on the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
