United Artist Theatres opened their Cinema 69 around the early 1970’s as a twin indoor cinema, with an adjoining drive-in.
UA sold the complex in the early 1990’s, and that is when it was then expanded to six screens.
The Drive-In is no longer open, although the old Drive-In screen is still standing. The Drive-In was only profitable 3 months out of the entire year(when school was out for the summer). Not to mention, in this day and time of everyone suing everyone else for the slightest ridiculous thing, Drive-In’s are no longer a wise choice for the poor independent cinema owner. It is now as described above, a seven screened indoor theatre.
They might have added another auditorium but in 2003 it was a 6 auditorium theatre and the drive-in.
Isn’t this the same as the Cinema 69 Theatres & Drive-In? The cinemas have 6 indoor theatres and one outdoor drive-in. It is in McAlester, Oklahoma.
