KANOPOLIS - Opened since 1952, the historic Kanopolis Drive-in Theater had their 2025 season cut short due to a broken 16-year old projector.

The single-screen Drive-in theater located on the northwest side of Kanopolis, KS, unexpectedly ended their 2025 season. Co-owner Jessica Eagle announced on the drive-in theater's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16Reerrvpp/">Facebook</a> page that the projector is not fixable, after attempts to repair it.

To replace the projector, it will cost upwards of around $100,000.&nbsp;
