Demolished in the early-1970s.

Still listed in the 1976 topo, but I cannot confirm if its still operating at the time.

Closed during the 1970s. A 1978 aerial view shows the theater falling into disrepair.

Actual closing date is January 2, 2000. Carmike also closed the Waverly Place 6 that same day. Both theaters marked one of the first theaters to close in the 21st century.

A 1985 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, appearing to be in operational shape. Its most likely demolished during the early-1990s, and that’s when the Walmart opened at the site on January 31, 1995.

This was built partially on site of the Bay State Drive-In.

Opened on March 29, 1948. Despite the 1982 aerial view showing the drive-in with everything, a 1984 topo does not show the drive-in being listed, meaning that this has to be closed sometime in the early-1980s. As mentioned above, it was already gone by the early-1990s as Weis was built at the site.

Still open in the mid-1980s, but was gone by the early-1990s. A 1983 aerial view shows the drive-in with its screen and glory, in great condition and appearing to be operational. It was wiped by the early-1990s, as traces and the foundations of the concession building are still visible. Both of which are gone by the early-2000s.

Looks like the CinemaScope edges are ripped.

As of 2026, despite many buildings at the site, the fan shape of the former theater is still intact.

A 1982 aerial view shows the theater, but nearly half of its traces are kinda overgrown.

Closed on January 31, 1954 with Robert Taylor in “All The Brothers Were Valant” and Rock Hudson in “Back To God’s Country” (unknown if extras added). The 1956 aerial view confirms that the screen is gone, meaning that this is EXTREMELY short-lived.

Actually, I think both the Almonte 6 and Quail Springs 6 closed in separate dates. The Almonte 6 closed in May 1999 according to a November 1999 article on shopping trends released by the Daily Oklahoman.
