Mayor G.T. Bynum on Tuesday ordered all bars, restaurants and entertainment venues closed indefinitely in response to the growing spread of COVID-19, including movie theaters.

Smith said he was told there is no need for cars to park in every other space at the drive-in as part of “social distancing” but that he will not be able to open the concession stand.

Bathrooms will be open with all necessary hand-washing access, he said.

“The drive-in is a different kind of business, and other exhibitors (theater owners) thought I should be able to be open, and I can tell you that we got tons of emails asking if we were going to be open this weekend,” Smith said.

Admiral Twin Drive-In is currently open on weekends, Friday through Sunday nights, with double-feature movies showing on two screens. Admission is $7 for adults and $3 for kids age 3-11.

This weekend, showing on one side is the animated Pixar movie “Onward,” followed by “Sonic the Hedgehog,” beginning at 8:05 p.m.

On the other side, starting at 7:55 p.m. on those three nights, is the faith-based film “I Still Believe,” followed by “The Call of the Wild,” an adventure film starring Harrison Ford.
