The Poplar Bluff Drive-In opened on June 23, 1950. The car capacity was listed at 600 and it was operated by Kerasotes Theatres. The drive-in was closed at the end of the 1983 season. It has since been demolished and the AMC Showplace Poplar Bluff 8 is now on the site of the former drive-in, opening in May 1998. (the Showplace 8 was originally operated by Kerasotes Theatres also and has its own page on Cinema Treasures).
