Other than the location north-east of Lawton Airport and operating dates of 1955 through 1985, not much else is known about the former Hankins Drive-In.
Come on Lawtonians, there must be someone out there reading these pages who knows something about Lawton theatre history. Please let us hear from you!

Hankins Drive-In is listed in the 1980 IMPA with a capacity for 300 cars. Operator at that time was V.E. Hamm.
2710 SW 11th St. at SW Bishop Rd. 73501 – 300 car capacity – Single Screen – Closed/Demolished. I know some of the info is repititious but that is the info I found.
The Hankins was still in operation in the summer of 1986. It closed sometime in late 1986 or 1987. Patrons were invited to cut the speaker loose from the pole and take it with them as a souveneir. A church has since been built on the premises.
