The Route 114 Drive-In opened in the early-to-mid 1950s, although there was not a lot of information for its start.
However, in the early 1980s, the Route 114 Drive-In began running mostly dusk-to-dawn shows, which were mainly first and second-run films targeting mainly PG to R audiences.
The Route 114 Drive-In closed for the final time on October 16, 1988 with its last dusk-to-dawn show. There were six films shown on its final day of operation (including “Big”, “Predator”, and “Die Hard” just to name a few).
Opened on April 25, 1956 with Gary Cooper in “The Court Martial Of Billy Mitchell” and Humphrey Bogart in “The Desperate Hours” (unknown if extras added).
