First advertisement appeared on July 5, 1968 with “How To Save A Marriage”, but was unconfirmed if that is the correct opening date.
The Pocono Record confirmed that it was remodeled in April 1975, and yes, the Casino Theatre closed after it was sold in 2021. It was converted into a Vietnamese restaurant in May 2022.
This operated as early as 1953 judging by the aerial view, but it looks like it has been recently constructed at the time. It appears that it closed during the 1970s and was completely gone by the early-1980s.
Still open in the 1970s, but appears that it closed later that decade. A 1984 aerial view shows the drive-in with its screen and projection/concession booth but the traces were barely visible.
Cinemark operated the theater until the early-2000s. A chain called Interstate Theatres (don’t know what Interstate it was) took it over until December 23, 2004. Starplex Cinemas took the bag afterward before Cinema Holdings Group took over on April 30, 2010. This didn’t last long, and an independent operator took it over the following year.
Actual closing date is October 20, 1987. Screen 1 closed with two low-budget horror films, while Screen 2 closed with “Dirty Dancing” (the ONLY mainstream movie on closing night) and “Creepshow 2”.
The Walmart opened at the site on May 25, 2005 as a replacement of the nearby 5015 S Interstate 35 Frontage Road location that had operating since December 31, 1988.

Already operating as early as 1953, but after closure, it appears that the screen remained standing into the 1990s.

A 1959 aerial view shows the drive-in being completely dead, but the screen appearing to be standing.
A 1981 aerial view shows the Hi-Way appearing to be operational, but was gone by 1985.
Although its opening date remains unknown, a November 1985 article confirms that this opened with James Stewart in “The Stratton Story”.
Definitely a very small drive-in, probably around 100 cars. A 1983 aerial view shows the theater still intact, but was partially gone by 1998.
Screen appears to be demolished in the 1970s.
Opened in 1949 by Earl Davenport, destroyed by a fire on January 4, 1951, rebuilt afterward.
Really unique to see a drive-in located across the street from downtown.
Still operating in 1982 judging by the aerial view from that year, but was gone by 1993.
Demolished in 1982. Several trailer homes occupy the former drive-in space afterward.

Closed on July 1, 1999. It was last known as Varsity Cinema.
Closed as “The Movie Pub” on December 9, 1987 with “Made In Heaven”.
I think the show moved to another theater.
I think so.
Closure was due to its last operator, Howell Theaters of Smithfield, refusing to renew its lease.
