Newspaper archives from the Index-Journal of Greenwood confirmed that the Sharon Drive-In was still open in 1955, meaning that the aerial year could be a human error. However, I can confirm that it may’ve not last long either, meaning that it may’ve closed later in the mid-1950s.
The Oaks Cinema opened its doors as a single-screener on July 24, 1971 with John Wayne in “Big Jake”. It was twinned on May 27, 1983 and went under the name “Oaks Twin”.
This opened softly on September 2, 1950 with “Everybody’s Dancing” (unknown if extras added), and had its grand opening two days later on September 4, 1950 with “Baron Of Arizona” (also unknown if extras added). It was already gone before the early-1980s.
The Fox Theatre was rebuilt after the fire. Camden newspapers stopped advertising the Fox in 1954, meaning that it either continued without advertising or closed for good.
Last operated by United Artists, closed on April 26, 1992 with “White Men Can’t Jump” (really bad name for a movie title) in Screen 1 and “Terminal Bliss” in Screen 2.
Opened on June 17, 1948 with John Wayne in “Tycoon” and Virginia Bruce in “Butch Minds The Baby” (unknown if extras added). It closed after the 1969 season.
The Super 130 Drive-In had a ridiculously weird start. The Super 130 opened its gates on October 26, 1960 with the Soviet animated film “The Snow Queen”, Vincent Price in “House Of Ushers” and “Dinosauris”.
Indeed, in my opinion, it was a strange start for a 1,000-car drive-in. However, the Super 130 would later pick up its first normal American first-run attractions beginning with Marilyn Monroe in “Let’s Make Love” and Anthony Quinn in “Portraits In Black” the following week on November 1 of that same year.
The Super 130 Drive-In closed after the 1987 season. The Super 130 closed on October 14 of that year with triple low-budget horror shows that lasted for a month, but its last normal first-run attractions are both “Hamburger Hill” and “Beverly Hills Cop II” on September 14 of that year.
Last operated by Loews under the name Loews Cinnaminson Twin, and closed on August 23, 1990 with “Ghost Dad” in Screen 1 and “Total Recall” in Screen 2.
The Westmont Theatre actually did not close in 1979. It was still operating as a single-screener into the early-1980s under Budco ownership.
However, the Westmont did close for a brief time in early-1983 due to twinning. Budco twinned the Westmont on March 25, 1983, reopening that day with Walt Disney’s “The Sword In The Stone” and “Winnie The Pooh And A Day For Eeyore” in Screen 1 and “The Outsiders” in Screen 2, and was taken over by AMC Theatres a few years later.
This didn’t last long, and the AMC Westmont Twin closed for the final time on September 7, 1987 with “The Fourth Protocol” in Screen 1 and “Dirty Dancing” in Screen 2.
Opened on February 19, 1972 with “Diamonds Are Forever” in Screen 1 and “Son of Lassie” and “X, Y, and ZEE” in Screen 2, and closed on June 11, 1987 with “Windrider” in Screen 1 and “Private Investigations” in Screen 2.
The Lithia Drive-In opened its gates on July 30, 1954 with Bob Hope in “Fancy Pants” and Mickey Rooney in “A Slight Case Of Larceny” along with an unnamed cartoon and a newsreel. The Lithia was the only locally-operated drive-in theater at the time, and was first owned by Jim Selleck and Jack Putney with its construction led by contractor Jim Elliott.
It was originally planned to be named the Crest Drive-In but that name was scrapped during construction.
This NEVER opened in 1940, and it also did not appear in the 1957 aerial view. Its most likely that the Roundup Drive-In opened in the early-1960s, with newspaper mention dating back to 1962.
The Roundup closed after the 1985 season and was last owned by Spiess Theatres, the same ownership that owned the Pendleton Cinema before being purchased by Tom Moyer Luxury Cinemas the following year.
Carmike briefly closed the Oakwood 5 in January 2000 because of its lease, leaving their Video Twin Theatre (which will have its own CT page soon) as the only operating movie theater in Enid for several years until the Oakwood’s reopening by Dickinson Theatres in 2005.
