Most of the photos on this listing are from the Sunset which doesn’t appear to have its own listing here. The Sunset became the RV Park where the screen remained until it fell down in 2018, the Elk is now a bike park as mentioned above.
George Larson appears to have obtained ownership in 1953, the January 24, 1953 issue of Box Office reported this and also mentioned it had 200 seats for walk-ins. So this place actually had more indoor seats than car space.
Opened in August 1952.
Also this closed in the 1960’s not the 1980’s.

MichaelKilgore, the below page lists an “Enderby Drive-In Theatre” that operated for only one season in 1953. So maybe that was the original?

This was actually located further down Pemberton Ave with a current address of 221 Lloyd Ave, North Vancouver. The site is now a bus depot.
Approximate address is currently Cottonwood Crescent, Welland.
Opened in 1954.
Approximate opening date was June 26th, 1950. It was located on Broadway St East.
Apparently opened in July 1953.

The original owner was Arthur Vaudner, the drive-in was open as early as 1955.
The opening film was “Luxury Liner” along with the Stooges short “G.I. Wanna Home”.
Now a housing estate appropriately called “Cinema Park”.
Closed in late 1972/early 1973.
I guess an “adult” for ticket purposes was over 12. I highly doubt they would let “unaccompanied” children even enter the site.
Possibly closed with “Striking Distance” and “Mo' Money”.

Not sure when it actually closed but it was still there complete in 1996.
Demolished after 1998.
Demolished in the mid-90’s, now a housing estate.
I completely got the address wrong, this was actually located at 160 Hastings River Dr, Port Macquarie NSW 2444. Its now Port Home Zone.
The house is definitely the original concession building with extensions added.
I don’t think this was ever a twin, I’ve seen photos of it throughout its lifetime and it was always a single screen site.
The Bentley Motel was built in the 60’s and the rooms had a view of the screen, I wonder if they also had sound wired to the rooms.
17450 Great Eastern Hwy, Kellerberrin WA 6410. I don’t think even the ticket box remains, possibly the entrance gates might still exist.
