Closed in the mid-to-late 1970s.
A closer address is 23128 US-77, Pauls Valley, OK.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property. It is private property with a home sitting about where the screen once stood.
The remnants of the ramps are now gone. About the only thing left is the double-driveway entrance/exit roads. And what may be the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand

Walsie Campbell launched the Corral Drive-In on May 1, 1956 with “Day of Fury.” In September of 1956, he sold both the Deal hardtop theater and the Corral to Elvin Anderson and James Gaskins.
Was open in 1956, not sure on exact date/year but it there are newspaper ads from that year.

Pauls Valley Daily Democrat, Sept. 23, 1962: “Charles Smith has leased the Corral Drive-in theater south of Pauls Valley from E. B. Anderson of Norman. He has moved to Pauls Valley with his family and has assumed management of the Corral … Anderson, who owns the Corral theater, operates a drive-in theater at Norman.”
Drive-In was located NW of Wynnewood along US 77 just south of the E1620 Intersection on the SW side. You can still see the remnants of the ramps. https://goo.gl/maps/kdt47
