This drive-in opened in 1950, and is still operating, now with three screens and showing first-run movies.

This is the closest drive-in to the New York City/Northern New Jersey area (about 50 miles from Manhattan). Drive-ins were once situated all over Bergen and Hudson Counties. Fans of those good old days should patronize the Warwick for a really fun time-warp experience.
I was a projectionist in 1968, we showed Woodstock, Midnight Cowboy and what do you say to a maked lady.
Single screen 2 projectors, 20 minute reels and carbon arc in 68'

I lived in Franklin, New Jersey for over a year after Katrina. I used to go to this drive in often.
Opened on April 28, 1950.
Went last weekend. Great place and was truly like a trip back in time for me, err except the prices! I’ve lived in North Jersey for 4 yrs now and only this past weekend went , boy wished I had done this sooner! love the place and it’s quite scenic when the Sun goes down
Have they opened for the season and converted to digital?
