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.
I’m pretty sure this is the same one we went to when we were kids! Though not at the same time as this picture. It’s really neat to see what it looked like then.
Texted my family to see what it is but I may not find out for over a week lol.
Since I started to watch Uzumaki (anime adaptation) I see spirals everywhere with an unsettling vibe every time…
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.
That’s a tiny screen for a drive in theater.
