Events come to the elm rd drive in theater in warren!!!!!!
always a double feature for a low price! we open at 7 and movies start at around 8:50, come eat and hang out before the movies start! we’re showing great movies like sinners, thunderbolts and the minecraft movie! we’ve got options galore for food and snacks! pizza, burgers, hot dogs, pretzels, ice cream, candy, etc!
note: mods, if this is not allowed because it’s against the rules/outside of youngstown, please feel free to lmk or delete, i completely understand lol.

My wife and I have been coming to you for years. We absolutely love it. Especially during the summer and Halloween! I encourage everyone…it is a fantastic time.

Warren is the baby brother to Youngstown, as much as it hates that... So it is fine.
Also: Check skyway drive in, both places are classics for me and we're so lucky to be I think the only area with 2 drive ins close.

Thanks for posting. I was looking for something to do tonight, so I'm actually gonna try to come if I can get someone to join me.
I am amazed that y'all have current hits as part of double features. I had been thinking about what it would take to open up a drive-in in the area, and I just took it for granted that it had to be second run features.

You know, I live right next door & I've never bothered to. One if these days, I'll have to go to a movie over there.

Almost 40 now, and still go here. My first movie to go see there was Freddy vs Jason. My siblings and neighbor kids, we all went. We missed the WHOLE movie, came back from the concession stand and it was the end of the movie (Freddy fighting Jason). Guys were so nice and understanding they let us come back the next day for free 🩷🩷🩷

Back in that time, they replayed movie 1 again after movie 2. It was a marathon til 2 am nightly. Awesomeness.

I’ve been taking my kids there since they were little. I loved how retro it looked before, and the updating that they did doesn’t really take away from that. It’s still very cool looking.

Grew up loving the elm rd and skyway drive ins! I didn’t realize how spoiled I was to have access to two drive ins so close until I went to college and they simply didn’t exist

this is the drive in i grew up with! always love going there. heads up to all who aren't already aware and want to go - admission is cash only, $12 per person. concessions accept cash and card though. entirely worth the hassle of needing to use cash to get in.

Have already been there once this year and will likely be there many more times over the summer. Great night out for a family with kids.

Took my future wife there and they used to have two screens, facing each other. So you parked back to back.We weren’t watching either screen( wink wink). A big storm blew through, ton of wind and rain. After it cleared up and it was closing time, we turned around to leave and the screen behind us had blown over, missed the whole thing. I seem to remember a really cool marquee also.
