Think drive ins should make a return?


With everyone practicing social distancing, what few drive in theaters still exist should be doing gangbusters. You can sit in your own car and watch a movie without having to be close to anyone other than your own family.

They are doing well. I read an article about it yesterday. The two near me are still closed for winter. :(

I've been to a drive in once. It was fun, but I hate bugs, and heat, and the outdoors, so to make it a regular thing I'd have to live someplace where those things don't exist.

Last time I went to a drive in theater, they were showing a double feature of SpaceCamp and Cloak & Dagger.

I do like it. Just like a regular movie, better with the right people. Plus you can bring pretty much whatever you want

I remember renting Cloak & Dagger a few times. IIRC, Space Camp was either great and then Challenger happened, or had its release delayed because of Challenger.

The place I grew up only had a drive in for watching new movies, it was a fine experience and you dont get distracted by some dope making commentary during the movie.

Not yet, but even if you don't you don't have to charge it.

I remember watching it originally because I thought it was going to be a comic movie. Honestly wasn't a bad movie regardless.

I'd rather rent a movie and watch it at home than do the drive in thing.

Where I live there is one drive-in theater and it's the last one from the glory days. I think it first opened in the mid 1950s.

I'd like to go to a drive in, but I don't know if there's one near me, and I'd have to have a vehicle of my own to go to one, so I voted for "No, I'd rather wait to watch a movie in a regular indoor theater"

Most of the drive-ins that I grew up with closed one by one through the 80s , 90s , & 00s.

They were great for triple feature night at reasonable prices , and when they went from those crappy speakers to radio broadcast for audio, that made it a more pleasurable experience.

But , once they started opening the multi-plexes with 6 or mores theaters, the drive-ins couldn't compete vs. the time when there were only 2 or 3 theaters in the surrounding area.

In areas with consistently good weather , there is probably a place for drive-ins, but the market for them is very limited.

There's apparently one near me. Probably really run down if it's in that city though.
