• Friday, Saturday, Sunday (June 5, 6, 7)
8:50pm - THE SHEEP DETECTIVES [PG]
11:10pm - THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU [PG-13]

Showtimes are the earliest a feature will start, and may vary slightly. Gates open at 7:00pm on Friday and Saturday and at 7:30pm on Sunday. Please keep reading for all you need to know for your night at the drive-in!

One more weekend to catch the fun of the latest thrilling Star Wars movie, starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, and Jeremy Allen White, and boasting the highest Rotten Tomatoes audience score of all Star Wars films outside of the original trilogy! But UP FIRST is the delightfully funny and engagingly entertaining mystery/comedy/adventure THE SHEEP DETECTIVES, which has a staggering 96% audience score and 95% critic score! This one of a kind instant-classic is that rare hit that will stir the heart, mind, and funny bone of just about everyone of every age. It stars one of Hollywood's best, Mr. Hugh Jackman. THE SHEEP DETECTIVES WILL PLAY THIS WEEKEND ONLY, so we hope you can come on out!

We accept cash, cards, and smartphone pay. Admission is STILL just $10 per person ages 12+, $5 per person ages 7 to 11, free for ages 6 & under, and $8 for military and veterans, with ID. As always, your ticket price covers all the movies in an evening, and you may enter and exit at the times of your choosing. We're located at 2475 NYS-48 in Fulton/Minetto. We show rain or starshine. There is no saving of spaces, please. All vehicles must be parked within one-foot of any post, and blankets and chairs should be placed just within your space.

Please always watch your step on the lot. We encourage you to use a phone/flash light to point at the ground while walking in the dark.

Our speed limit is 5 MPH. PLEASE watch for children and people on blankets and chairs, and please use your headlights anytime your vehicle is in motion on our lot. It's better to cause a distraction than to cause an accident.

We offer a wide-variety of delicious food and drink in our concession stand. Have dinner with us! Everything we serve is highest-quality, freshly prepared, and reasonably priced. Your support in our snack bar is the best way you can help ensure the future of the Midway, as the film studios take at least half of each ticket we sell.

Please secure hatches down to roof level, to lessen obstruction of the screen for the patrons behind you. Bungee cords and ratchet straps work great for this, and we have twine available for no charge at the projection booth. The spots closest to the snack bar in rows 3, 4, and 5 are reserved for handicapped parking.

Smoking is strongly discouraged in the front portion of the lot and near children. Smoking is permitted next to the projection booth. We encourage smokers to step away from their neighbors to limit sidestream smoke exposure.

Our sincere apologies, due to a server issue we are still unable to offer our traditional Sunday night open-captioning.

We broadcast the soundtrack on 87.9FM. The superior sound is through your car stereo. The soundtrack sounds terrific and you control the volume. If you prefer to sit outside we implore you to bring along your own portable radio or boombox. Our very limited loaner radios go fast, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. We have them for folks whose car stereos aren't working. A quick start of the engine for a minute or two, every hour or so, is a good idea to keep your battery strong. Usually, when vehicles need jumps, lights or defogger fans have been on. If you need a jump it's no problem, no charge! Just come to the projection booth if you need any help whatsoever.

Thanks so much, and we can't wait to see YOU back at the Midway Drive-In Theatre!

Our Jessica is a college graduate!!! A mighty congratulations to her for earning her bachelor's degree in counseling and human services this past weekend, from The University of Scranton. Jessie has been part of our extended family since her birth, and she started working at the drive-in doing lot and restroom cleanup when she was 14. Along with keeping the entire facility meticulously clean, when she was old enough she began working in the snack bar. Jess has always been our star employee. She excels at every new task she undertakes. She is our source for solutions when we can't find something, need information on a product, when the cash register or other equipment is being stubborn, and countless other things we ask of her. The snack bar and box office can be very high pressure when the lines suddenly get long, and she always stays calm, collected, and cordial. Her dependability, consistency, efficiency, and impeccable sense of precision and organization have been instrumental in keeping the Midway humming along strong. She's now entering her ninth season with us. Jess, we could not be more proud of the poised, patient, smart, adaptable, dedicated, beautiful, brave, young woman you have become. We are infinitely grateful for all your years of tireless work. We love you, and Lady Midway loves you!!!

2026 ATTENDANCE PRICES REMAIN THE SAME! Hi folks, this is John. The business has changed a great deal since our dad passed away nine years ago. Minimum wage has increased more than 50%. (We believe in a living wage, but this is very difficult expense for small, independent businesses to absorb.) Film rental fees have increased. Digital projection equipment costs have skyrocketed. The popularity of streaming movies at home has decreased attendance.

However, as my beautiful sister eloquently expressed in Peter Mahan's documentary "Midway Drive-In: A Reason to Celebrate" (which can be watched in its entirety on YouTube), our family has lived in this community for generations and we understand that nights out at the drive-in are often the highlight of many folks' summers. We try very hard to keep our prices as reasonable as possible. This is a labor of love and we're lucky when a season breaks even. Due to higher supply costs and like all eating establishments, we have been forced to increase prices slightly in the snack bar. But we hope you continue to skip the drive-thrus and come have dinner with us. Our prices are on par with corporate fast food places, and our food quality and freshness far surpasses their offerings.

For many folks, us included, the Midway is the only drive-in we've ever known. But we are one of only a handful of the approximately 275 drive-in theatres nationwide that do not charge an extra fee to bring in outside food. Most drive-ins look in your vehicle at the gate, and if you're bringing in Domino's or McDonald's or the like, you must buy a food permit that can cost $10 and up. We understand the need for the majority of drive-ins to have this policy. With the nature of the business, folks are much more likely to bring in food in their cars than they would be to carry food into an indoor theatre or sit-down restaurant. But the film studios take at least half of each ticket sold, so theatres rely on concession purchases to keep the lights on.

We have no plans to institute a food permit policy. We like to give you your freedom. If you must bring in outside food we encourage you to frequent a local independent eatery, and to still come into the snack bar for a delicious snack and friendly conversation with our terrific staff. Our classic menu includes popcorn, candy, ice cream, cheese fries, Hofmann hot dogs and coneys, our famous pizza, burgers, and so much more. A visit or two to the snack shack is an instrumental part of the drive-in theatre experience. We do ask that if you bring in outside food, please take containers and refuse home with you. Trash cleanup and removal is a significant expense for us.

Our ticket prices remain lower than most other theatres, and you get at least two movies for the price of one!

2026 admission prices:
• $10 per person ages 12 and up
• $5 per person ages 7 to 11
• $8 for military and veterans with ID
• free for ages 6 and under

Thank you so much, and we hope you can join us real soon down at the drive-in!
