Most likely closed during the 1970s, due to the fact that a 1978 aerial view shows the theater without its screen, but everything remained intact for several more years. Despite several changes by 1985, the concession building and nearly half of the traces survive into the early-1990s. The building was unfortunately gone by 2002, and the rest of the theater was gone by 2006 as a racetrack was constructed at the site.
After its closure, almost everything stood for around two decades. 1978, 1981, 1988, and 1993 aerial views shows the traces and projection/concession building but the screen was completely covered by trees. By 1999, the entire theater was overgrown by trees but there’s a big chance that the concession building remains standing. That unfortunately didn’t last long and was demolished around 2004.
Still intact in the 1993 aerial view but looks vacant. As of 2026, most of the faded traces and the projection/concession building are still present. The marquee sign was gone during the early-2010s with its poles still standing today.
Reason of the mall’s closure is because of the mall becoming a symbol of decline in Prince George’s County due to crime, changing demographics, and retail neglect.
Actual opening date is August 18, 1939 with Jack Benny in “Man About Town” along with Disney’s Donald Duck in “Sea Scouts”, the RKO Sportscope “Kennel Kings”, and the novelty musical short “Three Kings And A Queen”.
1981 and 1987 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory, but was already gone by 1997. There is also a house at where the former concession/projection stand was.
The Dixie possibly survived into the early-1980s, but I cannot tell if its operational or not judging by the 1983 aerial view, showing that there’s gunk in some of the traces. It was already gone by 1994.
1976 and 1981 aerial views show the drive-in appearing to be in pretty good shape, though I cannot tell if its still operating at the time. Of course it was already gone by 1994.

Still operating in 1969, but was completely gone by 1981, meaning that it closed during the 1970s.

This operated as early as the early-1950s, although I cannot find any details on if its the original or a relocation.

Opened on November 25, 1925.
I’m very sure this closed in the early-1960s.

There is a 1983 aerial view but it was mostly blocked, so I cannot tell its condition.
Still visible in the 1981 aerial view, but was gone by 1991.
The screen was visible in the 1984 aerial view but its most likely that the screen collapsed to the ground at the time it was taken.
