The Starlite Drive-In is Minnesota's last remaining multi-screen drive-in theater. "This allows us the freedom to play more movies at once and give us the opportunity to cycle through movies faster to open more new movies week after week," the theater said on Facebook.  "TWO SCREENS means DOUBLE the genres, DOUBLE the blockbusters, and DOUBLE the fun!"

BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES COMING IN 2026

The Starlite has pegged April 24th as its opening day, with summer movies like Michael, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Mandalorian & Grogu, Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters, The Odyssey and more all set for summer releases.

The Starlite says they have been 'working hard' during the offseason to improve the experience at the Starlite, with a new website and more food/drink options among the upgrades coming for 2026.
