If you go to that address – sorry for not noticing it earlier, ken mc – it looks like it’s actually four screens.

This theater opened on 24 August 1966. I confirmed this by searching through microfilm records at the Oceanside Public Library. The films shown that first night were “Assault on a Queen” and “The Last of the Secret Agents?”. The theater’s original name was the Mission Drive-In Theater. Within the first year of operation the name had changed to the Mission San Luis Rey Drive-In.

I have started compiling photos and information about this theater on this blog site:
