Redstone Management opened the M-78 Twin Drive-In on November 7, 1969 with “Romeo & Juliet” and “Prudence & The Pie” in Screen 1 (Blue Screen) and “The Madwoman Of Chaillot” and “The Green Berets” in Screen 2 (Red Screen). A third screen (Green Screen) was added in March 1978 bringing a total to three screens and became the M-78 Triple Drive-In.

One of the three screens closed after the 1991 season, leaving the remaining two operating until the following year. M-78 Triple Drive-In closed for the final time on September 7, 1992, with “Honeymoon In Vegas” and “A League Of Their Own” in Screen 1 and “Pet Sematary 2” and “Poison Ivy” in Screen 2.

The M-78 did not open as a single screen. It was a twin from day one, screen three opened in 1977. More at http://michigandriveins.com/m7856.asp
