how can you see from the back???
And who’s parking at the front, along the right facing the rest of the cars?
Parking at the side or front is for when you drive there in your own car, and then get in your friend’s car for the movie.
This whole thing is a giant monument to how bad cars are for society. Like instead of having theater seats for your ass, we have seats for your car. And then these other people, they can’t even bother to carpool, pick their friend up. Instead the friend drives there in their own car, and then goes to join you in your car. Did anyone ever stop to think about how crazy that is?
This would not be the configuration the drive-in would be in during operation. This looks like some daytime parking situation, car dealer storage?
There is a strong shadow, daytime so the screen wouldn’t be able to be seen. Many of the cars are parked sideways! Some of the cars are parked facing a wall where they can’t see the screen whatsoever. This is storage
I agree. This is NOT a drive in theater. The screen is way too small and it should be rectangular, not square. Also, about half the cars are parked in ways where they can’t see the screen.
This is either a car storage area that had the screen shopped in or someone told an AI “make me a vintage photo of a 1950s drive in,” and the AI added the screen and the (badly parked) cars without understanding how a drive in is supposed to work.
You’re half right. This is a drive-in theater. It was called the Moonlite Outdoor Theatre and was around long after the 1950s. However this is during the off season, and during the that period it was used by a nearby automaker for vehicle storage. Additionally, drive-in theaters (which still exist btw) don’t show films during the day. The first showing is usually at dusk.
That’s a tiny screen for a drive in theater.
The red area is the equivalent of a stadium seat that is obstructed by a column:
It was sloped at every drive-in I went to - so you’d see over the canteen/projection room.
Half the fun was queueing for burgers, chips (fries), and/or pizza, and coke between the two features. The other half was sneaking beer in. Then the other half was… what was I talking about?
god im still (and will always be) so upset these didn’t make a huge comeback during the pandemic like I hoped :(
One did here! We went to see this there last month, because they were doing free monster and horror movies on weeknights in October.
It was even the subtitled version!
The cool thing now is they don’t do the hanging the speaker in the window thing anymore. You just tune your car to a radio frequency they tell you when you enter.
My drive-in still has the window speakers, but also has the radio option too. I think we only went once this year, for Deadpool and Wolverine.
