I prefer the address 19392 NM-314, Belen, NM 87002, where the Belen Flea Market is now.

The Albuquerque Journal mentioned the Zia in ads in 1959 and 1960.

The Zia did not advertise next to a local indoor theater in the Belen News-Bulletin in July 1971 (earliest available at NewspaperArchives).

Motion Picture Almanac drive-in list mentions:

  • 1952-54: (no capacity), owner Thea. Ent.
  • 1955-56: (no capacity), owner Frontier Theatres
  • 1957-66: Capacity 197, owner Frontier Theatres
  • 1969-76: Capacity 197
  • 1977: off the list
