Land became more valuable than the revenue the theater could produce. In fact one city here condemned a theater because a developer wanted the property for a shopping center.
Today that center is not fully leased and the mall across the street has been demolished. There were probably 20 in the immediate area and they are all gone.

Back in the '60's we went as a family once to see "Old Yeller". I believe us kids all fell asleep. As a teen/young adult, I never fell asleep, for obvious reasons.
from imdb:
The death of Old Yeller is often referred to as the saddest moment in all of the live-action Disney films. Many adults have often described it as the worst moment from their childhoods.

We have one here in Lewisville as well. We enjoy going in the spring and fall but summer is to damn hot to sit in the back of the truck watching a movie.
