MacDade Drive-In

The McDade Drive-In was opened on November 13, 1957 with John Wayne in “Jet Pilot” & Rory Calhoun in “The Hired Gun”. It seems the MacDade Drive-In was closed in 1981. A Pathmark supermarket is on the site of the MacDade Drive-In now.

In June or July of 1977, my mother and I watched Star Wars at the Mac Dade drive-in. It was a very memorable night.

The “Star Wars” run at MacDade Drive-In didn’t commence until July 27th, 1977 and played for about six months, so RidleyRick certainly didn’t see it there during June and quite possibly not in July either.

I grew up at this drive in and the Family Drive In. Was this drive in always owned by SamEric Corp? The Eric name never appeared until the middle 70’s
