THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
We hope you enjoy the movie!

Your admission ticket allows you admission to one screen. Parking spaces are first-come-first-serve, and we suggest you plan to arrive early in order to secure a prime viewing spot and to avoid long ticket lines close to show time. The box office closes shortly after the beginning of the final movie.

The audio for the movies is broadcast through an FM transmitter, and you must have a working, FM radio in order to hear the movies. WE RECOMMEND BRINGING A PORTABLE RADIO OR BOOM BOX TO HEAR THE MOVIE. If you are going to use your car stereo, be sure that your car battery is strong enough to power your radio throughout the show. We offer jump-starts; however, wait times are excessive on busy nights. We do not offer jump-starts until all customers have been cleared from the ticket lines.

WE DO NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK AT THE STARLITE. All movie theatres and especially DRIVE-IN’s only survive due to food sales. The lion's share of the box office goes to the film companies. Simply put, if you don’t buy our concessions/food we will not be here! We appreciate your understanding.
