No one has favorited this theater yet
Opened in the late 1950s by JB & Melvin Fox, their first and only venture into drive-ins.
Not sure how long this one lasted as I can’t find it listed in the 1970 or 1976 Film Daily Yearbooks.
Any additional information on this theatre would be greatly appreciated.

Driveins.com shows the Pennsauken Drive-In owner as Budco. They also claim that “1985 – still operating at this time”.
The old drive-in property still sets there empty, alongside a former department store site, which has been used as a ballroom. Those two sites may be redeveloped into new retail space.
Now that ballroom is some kind of Christian church. The screen next door still stands.
Across the street are piles of dirt and concrete from what used to be the Mart and the UA. Nothing seems to be happening there.
Is this on Admiral Wilson boulevard? My Jersey geography is a little rusty now, although I used to take the NJ Transit bus from AC to Philly all the time. That went down 73, I think.
No, this one’s where Route 73 and US 130 intersect, where Route 90 (from the Betsy Ross Bridge) ends.
Listed in 1980 at Route 73 with Budco as the operator.
Here is a January 2011 photo of the screen. Trees are getting in the way…
Was just by the old D-I today. Screen is in good condition. Build a projection booth, snack bar and a box office and start showing movies. (Don’t forget to cut down thw trees) rg
Yes,that is a nice screen,but it will most likely never open,
Thats a nice dream rg!
