It is with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of the historic TWIN Drive-In Theatre in Independence, MO on November 17th. After decades of bringing joy, laughter, and memories to our community, we are unable to reach a feasible agreement with the property’s landlord, whose rent demands have become unsustainable for continued operation.

While we are deeply disappointed, we want to thank our loyal guests for the many unforgettable nights under the stars. Your support has meant the world to us, and we will always cherish the legacy of the TWIN as we know many of you will. We hope you’ll join us between now and the 17th for our final nights of movies, memories, and gratitude as we say goodbye to a beloved icon of Independence.

About B&B Theatres
Company History
B&B Theatres has been family owned and operated since 1924 when Elmer Bills Sr. opened a movie house in Salisbury, Missouri where the future Mrs. Bills played the piano for silent movies. During the company’s 98 years, and four generations of family involvement, it has seen the coming of sound, color, Technicolor, stadium seating, multiplexes, recliners and digital cinema.

Current Operations
B&B Theatres is the 5th largest theatre chain in North America and the largest privately held, operating over 550 screens at locations across fifteen states: Kansas, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Washington, Georgia, Nebraska, and (now!) Ohio.
