This opened as the Paramount Auto-Vue on August 3rd, 1951. Grand opening ad posted.
The Odeon Circuit shuttered the Paramount Drive-in after the October 10, 1959 showing of “The Big Circus.” A dairy interest bought the land for a new facility. The theatre was razed in 1959.
Did it only screen Paramount movies?
Nope, the Paramount Drive-In screened movies from various studios, including its debut feature Christopher Columbus (released by Universal-International in the US) and its final feature The Big Circus (made by Allied Artists). Paramount was simply the drive-in’s name and it had nothing to do with the film studio.
