Closed on July 7, 1985. Screen 1 closed with “Just One Of The Guys” and “No Small Affair” while Screen 2 closed with “2010” and “Cat’s Eye”. Its flea market continued to operate for three more weeks until July 28, 1985.
A 1984 aerial view shows the drive-in complete with screen and all, but the quality of the camera is kinda rough. I cannot confirm if it was still open at the time or not. It also looks like the theater looks larger than a 125-car drive-in.
Traces appeared to be fading in the 1982 aerial view, but I cannot confirm if it was still open at the time. By 1997, the entire theater became a trailer park.
A 1984 aerial view shows the drive-in intact complete with everything, but was gone by the mid-1990s. As of January 2026, only one-quarter of the traces can still be visible.
The actual address is 210-1128 Par-View Estates,
Montevideo, MN 56265, which puts it directly at the former theater’s location. It appears that it was closed in the early-1980s, as a 1984 aerial view shows the drive-in but some of its traces are gutted. The screen and projection/concession booths are already demolished later on.
Found it! The drive-in was located on 316 Race Track Rd,
Hohenwald, TN 38462, and was located right next to the race track. It appears operational in the 1980s.
Opened in mid-1954, closed in 1998.
Gone by 1991, but the traces and projection/concession booths remain until the early-2000s.
A 1981 aerial view shows the theater but its traces were completely faded. Most of the traces are gone by the following year.

Once operated by Midco during the 1980s.
Closed on September 4, 1978 with “Grand Theft Auto” and “Airport ‘77”.

The concession/projection booth was still standing by 1983, but otherwise the rest of the theater was wiped out in that year’s aerial.
Once known as Garlock Theatre.
It was already gone by the late-1960s, as the 1971 aerial view shows the foundations of the concession/projection booth and traces, but no screen.
Still operating in 1984.

Still operating in the late-1980s, but does still look like it was still operating into the early-1990s.
Operated as early as 1950.
Expanded to four screens on October 31, 1986.
Closed on May 29, 1995.
Very short-lived, also a very weird layout.
Opened on May 2, 1947 and closed either in the late-1950s or early-1960s. It was already gone by 1966.
Closed in the 1970s.
This most likely closed during the 1960s. Traces started to fade by the middle of the decade. The screen remained standing until the late-1970s.
Still open in 1980, but was already gutted in 1985, meaning that it was closed during the early-1980s.
