The Vallejo Auto Movies was located ¼ mile off of the 780 Freeway at the corner of Glen Cove Parkway and Benecia Road in Vallejo. Located in an odd part of town (directly between a residential subdivision and a cemetary), The Vallejo Auto Movies remained in operation until 1992. That winter, a screen was lost, and the concession/projection building suffered a fire. Many locals speculated that the owner was involved in the fire, for insurance reasons. The theater never reopened.
For the next ten years, the theater sat in decay, with its large screens slowly falling apart, speaker poles rusting, and weeds sprouting through the pavement. The box offices and marquee were vandalized beyond recognition.
In the summer of 2002, the Vallejo Auto Movies was finally demolished. Nothing remains of this drive-in.
