I’ll bet this was it, around 2300 St. Charles.

The Fort Benton Drive-In opened its gates on October 15, 1955 with Jane Powell in “Three Sailors And A Girl” along with a few unnamed shorts. It was renamed the Combo Drive-In at the start of the 1968 season and was closed on June 23, 1975 with “Law & Disorder”. The drive-in was also right next to its indoor theater also called the Combo Theatre, which will have its own CT page soon.
A closer address is 2300 St. Charles Street, Fort Benton, MT.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
Today, a building sits where the screen once stood. But you can still see the outline, ramps, and the concession stand/projector booth is still standing.
