Now an empty field. Approximate address is 21010 MN-15, New Ulm, MN 56073 just south of Skyview Lane. All that is left are the trees that were at the northern border of the the theater.
Now Raley’s at 311 S Lower Sacramento Rd, Lodi, CA 95242. Believe it or not, part of the entrance road at W. Tokay Street is still there in front of the credit union and the Mobil gas station.
Correction to some of the comments above (sidebar: I was a movie theater manager for Syufy in 1985-1986 for Century Almaden 5 and trained at Island Auto Movies, Coliseum Drive In, the massive Union City Drive In, Century Mountain View 16-still open, Century Cinedome 7 at Newpark Mall and Century 22-the one with the huge dome and the two smaller domes in front, the district manager office behind the large screen).
Mission D/I in Daly City (the address was listed in San Francisco since that’s what it was when this theater opened – DC did not exist at that time) only had 1 screen and was never owned by Century. That would be the Geneva D/I next to the Cow Palace.
Union City D/I closed in 1997. Century Theaters at the Union Landing opened in 1998. If we took a tour of that shopping center today, I could tell you exactly where each of the 6 screens were positioned and the snack bars. I rode that golf cart to start up the movies many times. Hint: Screen 5 was very small. The box office literally sat next to the screen. Also the east half of the the current theater is where screen 4 stood. Projection was from the original projection/snack bar building even though a road split the two sides 3 screens each. I know TMI.
Hilltop only had 1 screen. Coliseum D/I closed in 1998. Swap Meet still open. Recently the only existing screen has been covered with some kind of tarp.
Geneva D/I closed in 2001. Still an abandoned field with the dog track stand and the concession/projection building intact.
Moffett D/I ended as a 4 screen in 1985. I know. My first manager’s meeting was at the Century Mountain View 16, which hadn’t opened yet. They were taking the drive in screens down at the time.
Santa Barbara closed as 2 screens and reopened as 1. The other screen is not used.
The Burlingame opened as 1 screen. Next to it was the Beach. When Syufy took over, they merged the two theaters. Later splitting each to form the Burlingame 4 D/I.
Last but not least the Capitol. Lots of changes. Lots of configurations. The current one was due to the Century Capitol 16 bring built. The parking lot for this now demolished theater was where screen 5 and 6 of the drive in stood before the dreaded theater was built. Tore down the larger screens. Built 2 tiny screens in the back of screen 1. Said indoor theater was later demolished. I attended the theater opening. Nice but way too of the beaten path. I wish they would put the screens back. But the management of Syufy won’t do that because they are extremely lazy. Ray Jr. used to live in the trailer hone at the Coliseum. Fun fact.
55 Bellam Boulevard is the correct address not 555. Please update. This drive in now shopping center is located between Hwys 101 & 580. 555 is further east in the Canal District.
Just a clarification: When this opened, screens 3 was located at was the indoor movie theater’s parking lot. Screen 4 was located at where the theater stood. 2 additional screens were added around 1980 (the current screens 4 and 6). When the Century Capitol 16 opened (I was at the opening!), 2 MUCH smaller screens were shoehorned onto the original screen 1 (the current configuration). I still can’t get over the drive in which opened 20 years before the now closed and demolished indoor is STILL going strong!
According to others on this website, this was an adult theater owned by Walnut Properties (Pussycat Theatres) from 1977 to closing.
After some research, apparently mainstream movies would play Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday nights, mainstream movies before midnight, adult films after midnight.
