Was once part of the Highland Theatres chain. Should be added to the list of previous operators.
This approximate address tracks really well for Google Earth: 1545 Quail St, Lakewood, CO 80215.
The W. Colfax drive-in opened on 6/14/67. The address listed in the directories at the time was 11400 E. Colfax. I am putting together a series of books on the Denver area’s drive-ins and indoor theatres. If anyone has any questions on the subject, please feel free to contact me at and I’ll be happy to share my research with you. Thanks – Ken Mitchell
Boxoffice, Dec. 18, 1967: “Winds up to 70 miles an hour destroyed the screen tower of the West Colfax Drive-In in the northwest section of Denver.”
I’ve put together a booking history for the West Colfax drive-in, from 1967 up to 1978 so far, along with ads, photos and other information – in case anyone would like to know when a particular movie played there. I’m always happy to share my research with interested people. Take care – Ken Mitchell ()
