A 1984 aerial view shows that the foundations of the concession building and much of the faded traces are still visible. All of these vanished by the early-1990s.
The Jerry Lewis Cinema opened its doors as a 350-seat single-screener on February 3, 1972 with Arthur Hill in “The Andromeda Strain” and a special kiddie matinee of Jerry Lewis in “The Big Mouth”. In July of that same year, it was renamed the Sarno Plaza Cinema when Florida West Amusements acquired the theater. It became the Sarno Plaza Twin when it was twinned on June 17, 1977, and expanded to six screens on August 6, 1993, renaming it the Sarno 6 Cinemas. It was closed on May 21, 2000.
A 1993 aerial view shows the screen was still standing, with everything still intact. The only thing different is that there’s a building at the northwest corner of the traces. I’m very sure this may’ve closed in the late-1980s or the very early-1990s.
Easy find! It was located on 820 S E Broad St, Metter, GA 30439, where both 1969 and 1981 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory, but there’s some very small buildings in the 1981 aerial view located right next to the screen. I cannot confirm that it was still operating at the time. It was already demolished by the early-1990s and a street dedicating to the Green-Point Drive-In was made.
Most likely still operating in the late-1960s but was already closed by 1972. That year’s aerial show that the screen being collapsed and lying face forward for some reason. The screen was already gone by the mid-1970s.
First operated by Wineland Theatres, and Neighborhood Theatres took over the New Carrollton several years later.
AMC Theatres would later open a six-screener across the street called the AMC Carrollton 6, eight years after the single-screener’s opening, which will have its own CT page soon.
Already closed by the early-1990s, but the screen remained standing alongside much of the traces but the concession building is gone. It was already vanished by 2007.
Definitely closed after the 1955 season. It also appears that the screen was immediately removed after closure.
Still operating in the early-1980s, but the screen was gone by 1984.
Gone by 1984.
Still open in 1956, but was already gone by 1962. The screen remained standing for a time after closure.

This definitely closed in the early-1960s.

Already wiped by 1982, meaning that it was closed during the 1970s.
