Drive-in theaters are making a comeback in some parts of the US. There's one being renovated about twenty miles from me and I can't wait to check it out.I LOVE that you have Drive-ins wherever you are in the world. Here in Australia they nearly all became non existent through the 90's with a few exceptions. I actually live near one that remained open and the owner (who owned it since the 70's) has desperately tried to keep it open and alive so put in new digital projector and a nice new screen but has tried to keep it retro by building a diner with hot dogs and in the old style. I LOVE old drive ins. I reckon he could tap into a niche audience by maybe showing really trashy exploitation drive in classics maybe even once a month I think heaps of people would go. I live in Melbourne and frequently go to an old cinema called the Astor that pride themselves on showing old classics on the big screen . Every Halloween they show an all nighter from dusk til dawn of old gore nasties and people bring sleeping bags and cushions ,it's mayhem they even show old 80's commercials between films. I'll put a link just for the curious that shows the stuff they have.
The Astor Theatre
The Astor Theatre is a cinema in the grand, old manner. The theatre's proud boast is Fine Films and Atmosphere and the varied programme and old-world charm reflect this. When you walk into The Astor you are transported back to the days when going to the cinema was an event.www.astortheatre.net.au
