Closed on October 13, 1985 with “Fletch” and “Brewster’s Millions” in Screen 1 and “Invasion USA” and “Hills Have Eyes II” in Screen 2.
Photos of the destroyed screen from July 1980 can be seen here….

Anyone remember the storm of July 16, 1980? If I remember correctly it destroyed the screen of the Ecorse Drive In and it had to be rebuilt.
April 22nd,1951 grand opening ad in photo section.
The site is now a small strip mall called Taylor Commons which opened in 1991, according to real estate listings. Most of the strip is now vacant, but a Taco Bell, McDonald’s and Applebee’s are all in the parking lot.
A rendering of the Ecorse Drive-In appeared in the February 17, 1951, issue of Boxoffice. The architect was Ted Rogvoy. The Ecorse was built for Charles Komer’s Community Theatres circuit.
