This opened in the late 1980’s by Cineplex Odeon. The cinematour photo looks like the typical theatre that they built at the time. Cineplex Odeon sold it to Carmike Cinemas in 1995 and it ended with Starplex around 2002. http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/5072.html
This opened on June 21st, 1956
The ad claimed that had the largest drive-in in Texas with 1,457 screen, 110ft wide screen, 20 acres of paving, one mile of fence etc… and a kiddyland with an ferris wheel, merry go round etc…

Correction, Chuck Van Bibber, This was opened by Toronto’s Cineplex Odeon in the late 1980’s and sold to Carmike in 1995. The numbers at the sign are typical for Cineplex Odeon at the time. It has the similar appearance as the Carrefour Laval Cinema (Near Montreal) that was closed and demolished in 2001.
I would not be suprised that Kerasotes, AMC or Landmark gets their hands on it. It would make a great addition to the chain that buys even it is an loss leader.
Lost Memory, this theatre has closed according to the Carmike website since India’s Adlabs Phoenix built a new cinema down the road. Google is unable to map it.

Thanks, Joe Vogel.
This opened 1941-1950
This was an Robb and Rowley theatre 1930-1955. They owned nine in town in 1950.
Yes, it does, Thanks Vitonet. It looked much better in 1984.
