This most likely closed during the 1960s. Traces started to fade by the middle of the decade. The screen remained standing until the late-1970s.

Still open in 1980, but was already gutted in 1985, meaning that it was closed during the early-1980s.

The actual address is 210-1128 Par-View Estates, Montevideo, MN 56265, which puts it directly at the former theater’s location. It appears that it was closed in the early-1980s, as a 1984 aerial view shows the drive-in but some of its traces are gutted. The screen and projection/concession booths are already demolished later on.

Found it! The drive-in was located on 316 Race Track Rd, Hohenwald, TN 38462, and was located right next to the race track. It appears operational in the 1980s.

1982 and 1986 aerial views show the drive-in, but I cannot confirm if they’re operational or not.

A 1983 aerial view shows the drive-in still in operation, but the house that was built right next to the screen was constructed during the early-1990s, meaning that the theater closed around there. As of January 2026, the screen still stands but skeletons can be seen in some parts of the back.

This was actually the second ever drive-in theater to operate in Japan. The first one, the Western Drive-In in Tokyo, opened by Toho in November 1962. However, this was the first drive-in to be operated by Shochiku.

This was built on the site of the old Tower Theatre that opened in 1915 and was destroyed by a fire on March 18, 1931. Construction of the Roslyn Theater started in June 1933 and opened later that same year.

50sSNIPES commented about Frisco Theatre on Dec 30, 2025 at 6:50 pm

There are two theaters that were named the Frisco Theatre. The first Frisco Theatre launched on April 3, 1936, while the second Frisco Theatre launched on August 7, 1947. I cannot find the opening attraction for the first Frisco Theatre, but I can confirm that the second Frisco Theatre launched with Dick Haymes in “Carnival At Costa Rica” (unknown if extras added).
