A little bit more info for mb848 is that the Quintree Open Air Drive-in parked 800 cars which matches above,that is good, IN 1956 it was owned by Rifkin Circuit which ran a few screens in Massachusetts.
Tlsloews.In Raleigh.N.C. a old movie theatre was converted into A McDonalds.I ate lunch there one time and it was great time.Have to go over to the Raleigh Theatres to find it.It is on my list of theatres somewhere,which would take hours to find it.
There is an 8 plex Closed GCC with 8 great running projectors.Last Time i slipped in the exit door everything was still in the booth.The Richmond County Board of Education owns the 8 plex,but i don’t think they had done thing with it.
“The Gypsy Moths” and “Castle Keep” were two back to back R-rated movies that many feel hurt Lancaster with his fans.Nick,they look great.Left you a Thank you on National Hills Theatre.Better to be on CT than in my movie ad collection.
Chuck,thanks for the Great pictures.I remember they also had a pick-up driving around before the movie spraying for bugs,Good idea in that neck of the woods.
Wow, they twinned the Highway 21 Drive-in.Last time i caught a movie there it was a single screen. I got there early and the NEW owners were such a joy to visit and snap pictures.We talked theatres Problems they were having Booking certain films {Disney} and just a great time.I saw the new screen thanks to Chuck,We always tried to go to the Highway 21 Drive-in while in Hilton Head.The First time i visited with Video Camera the old man running the Drive-in with his Crabby wife about threw me and the family out.I had no desire to tape “HOME ALONE” just the Drive-in.This old man had a fit.Most, if not all theatre owners of Drive-ins are impressed if you want to shoot video.BELMONT DRIVE-in and the BIG-MO Drive-in{both on CT} had no problem with me shooting tape.Heck,I taped Richard at the BIG-Mo running the platter.But these two folks that use to run the DRive-in here,Well,like the new owners told me they"had just about run off all the business"You just don’t expect that rude of folks from South Carolina. Glad to see the Highway 21 Drive-in open and i still have the hand fans you all gave me to keep,plus the red drink cup with Highway 21 Drive-in on it. I wish you guys the best.
Five dollars for adult admission is dirt cheap.Surely, it has gone up since the above header was written.They charge a lot more for adults here at the closest Drive-in to me,THE BIG-MO.In South Carolina where everything is cheaper,I live in Georgia.
Thanks Don for the great picture.

Chuck Norris seems like a nice guy,but he is no where in the league of Eastwood or Bronson.
Thanks Nick,Saw the pictures.

Crying Shame this Drive-in could not be saved.

Great info and pictures,Will.I usually dislike 20 plexs and such.But good reading.
Plitt Theatres really new how to make weak theatres perform.i did not like the way they tended to close Downtown theatres.
