    Your support on social media makes more of an impact than you can imagine.


    Traditional advertising for movie theaters is almost nonexistent. People have  diverse options from news to entertainment and it’s impossible to get our business in front of the people that matter without the help of our fans.


    Social media interaction, likes, shares and views are absolutely what helps to promote and keep small businesses like us open!


    We appreciate you all and will continue providing a mix of fun, entertaining and informative posts throughout the year to update you on events, movies and contests at the drive-in!
