I justsent an e-mail to the author of the article. If they respond, I will pass along whatever info I get..
It is definitely open. They were playing the Indiana Jones new movie just recently. I intend to go several times this summer in case it’s the last.
Shockley,
I too, am frustrated about the disconnected phone number. I have tried calling there several times this year. I have some friends in Point Pleasant, so I will talk one of them into driving by to see what the sign says, just for verification.
Like I said it IS open. My friend drives by everyday. Hulk and Wall-e are playing currently.
The same friend was just there to see Indiana Jones and Iron Man.
Here is a current pic of the Colony Theatre in Gallipolis. This phone is disconnected but maybe contacting the Colony could help.

Today, the outline, ramps, and part of the entrance ramp are the only remains of the drive-in.
And, although it is difficult to confirm with the Google Street photos, a light pole that sits just to the west of the power lines may also have been a part of the drive-in.
