Drive-in announcements and movie listings · Visit Stanly listing

Check the theater’s latest dated announcement or call for the operating season, tonight’s films, gate time, admission and weather updates. We have not confirmed a current screening schedule, so an undated seasonal notice should not be treated as tonight’s opening status. The Facebook link above is the theater page linked by both Visit Stanly and Visit North Carolina.

Before you go

Confirm the date, film rating, showtime and ticket rules with the theater.
For the drive-in, ask about accepted payment, radio arrangements and any weather-related changes.
Contact the venue about accessibility or seating needs before purchasing.
Allow time for the trip, parking and concessions before the screening.
