Unlike most drive-ins, the Starlite is one of a few drive-ins that allows people to store airplanes on the drive-in property. The nearby Skyhaven Airport used a small portion of the Starlite to store aircraft.

The Orpheum was twinned on December 12, 1982 after a short one-month remodeling, which went under the name Orpheum Cinema 1-2. It was renamed the Foxboro Cinemas 1-2 a short time afterward, but the following year in 1983, a third screen was added on June 23, 1983 and was renamed Foxboro Cinemas 1-2-3. The Orpheum closed as a first-run triplex movie theater on November 14, 1991, after 75 years as a first-run house. Entertainment Cinemas was its last operator.

Actually, Loews NEVER closed the theater AT ALL in 1989. Loews operated the Copley Place Cinemas throughout the rest of time, despite Sony Theatres took over the theater in 1994 before Loews Cineplex took it over two years later in 1996. Loews Cineplex last operated the theater until its final closure on January 30, 2005.
