The Corral Drive-In was opened on May 1, 1956 with Dale Robertson in “Day of Fury”. Perhaps it was small and compact, but the 100 car capacity Corral Drive-In fulfilled its purpose of presenting movie entertainment under the stars. Southwestern Modern styling defined the Corral Drive-In, with pretty landscaping, and lovely after-dark lighting effects.

Drive-In was located NW of Wynnewood along US 77 just south of the E1620 Intersection on the SW side. You can still see the remnants of the ramps. https://goo.gl/maps/kdt47

He has moved to Pauls Valley with his family and has assumed management of the Corral … Anderson, who owns the Corral theater, operates a drive-in theater at Norman.”
