The theater needs to be added in the Mid-America Cinema Corp. previously-operated list.

The Holiday Drive-In closed after the 1985 season and was last operated by RKO. It probably closed due to AMC Theatres' purchase of RKO Mid-America.

50sSNIPES commented about Lake Twin Cine on Apr 8, 2024 at 12:17 pm

The Lake Cinema actually opened on November 27, 1969 with a capacity of 740 seats, and yes it opened with Disney’s “The Love Bug” (but there was an open house one day before grand opening with a free showing of “Half A Sixpence”). It was independently operated at first led by Frank Andres of Osage Beach, who lived there since after World War II, but several years later it was taken over by the Mid-America Theatres chain. Mid-America would later open nearby Camdenton’s Lake Camdenton Cinema in December 1972. In the early-1980s, it was renamed Lake Ozark Cinema.

The Lake Ozark Cinema was twinned in 1984 after Commonwealth Theatres took over the theater and was renamed Lake Cinema Twin. This was followed by Wehrenberg Theatres in 1986 and was renamed Lake Twin Cine', which happened around the same time Wehrenberg opened the Osage Village 4 Cine'.

The Lake Twin Cine' didn’t held on much longer. On February 1, 1987 after running “Star Trek IV” at Screen 1 and “Top Gun” at Screen 2, the Lake Twin Cine' closed and was scheduled to reopen by two months, but unfortunately it never happened at all.

This actually opened as the Osage Village 4 Cine' in October 1986. A fifth screen was added in 1993 and was renamed Osage Village 5 Cine'.
