How many times have I mentioned my dream of opening Drive-In Movie Theater?

I really think the business model would work. Now more than ever!

Great idea. The drive-in was a staple of my youth, from family outings to stuffing guys in the trunk on Lucky Buck night.

Broadcast audio on FM and maybe run a full stadium theater type of sound system. Do away with the cheap hamburger snack bar. Open pit BBQ wafting on the breeze. Order your food and beer from the app and it’s delivered to your spot. Double feature costs $30 per person or $150 per vehicle or you can lease your spot with theater seats, speakers, and canopy for $5,000 per year.

Real Drive-Ins used to have playgrounds so the kids could wear themselves out and get a few injuries before the show.
And you want to control the sound devices. As teenagers we used to sit outside the Drive-In and watch the movies, but we couldn't hear the sound. We would have loved to have the FM sound feed.

There’s one in the north and more rural part of Westchester but it was forced to close by overly broad rules (I’m sure when they added ‘movie theaters’ to the closure list nobody was thinking of drive ins). They’ve gotten themselves heard and are reopening first wave here.

Drive-in movie theaters are making a comeback thanks to the coronavirus.
The outdoor venues have been popping up all over the country in recent weeks.
Local small business owners have been reopening old drive-ins or building makeshift theaters in parking lots.
Food truck vendors have been selling burgers, hot dogs and more at some of the drive-ins as well.
One outdoor theater in New York reportedly sold out in three minutes after posting the tickets online.
Most of the venues are showing previously released family friendly movies.

Walmart is transforming 160 store parking lots to drive-in movie theaters this summer
Walmart has decided to bring families together for a little summer fun amid the coronavirus pandemic with a drive-in movie tour.
Yes, you read that correctly. Walmart is partnering up with Tribeca Enterprises to transform 160 of its store parking lots into contact-free drive-in movie theaters.
"Beginning in August, Walmart will roll out this red carpet experience in towns across the country for a combined 320 showings," the company wrote on its website. "This family-friendly night will include hit movies, special appearances from filmmakers and celebrities and concessions delivered right to customer vehicles."
The drive-in tour will start in August and will run through October.
Additional details such as locations and ticket information will be announced closer to the start of the tour.
