A closer address is 3501 Platte River Rd, Fremont, NE.
A 1993 aerial shows the drive-in demolished. By 1999, the property appeared to be used for storage or perhaps an auto salvage yard.
Today, Titan Machinery sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining, apart from its connection to the highway.

Once operated by Central States Theatres.
The Fremont Drive-In Theatre went out with a bang with July 4, 1988 showings of “Beetlejuice” and “Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach” with a fireworks display between the two shows. Attendance was dwindling due to the popularity of VHS home video and the operator decided to let the 40-year lease lapse.
This opened on July 21st, 1949 and closed after the 1988 season. Grand opening ad below:
