The Lougheed Drive-In opened on June 30, 1949. It had a car capacity listed at 639. It was operated by Theatre Agencies. The drive-in closed by Famous Players on April 25, 1982 with Lee Horsley in “The Sword and the Sorcerer”. It has since been demolished. There is an office park where the drive-in once stood.

Here are some photographs of the Lougheed Drive-in from HistoricBurnaby.ca: 1, 2, 3, (showing storm-damaged screen in 1962) and 4 (showing a swap meet in 1974).

Famous Players ran the Lougheed Drive-In in its later years. I saved a newspaper clipping of Vancouver-area movie listings from 1974 that shows the Lougheed Drive-In as part of FP.
Closed in 1982 or 1983?
