Actually, in the U.S. there are 305 drive-in theaters that did a rousing business during the shelter in place edict. Going was logical and safe: - You're certainly in your own space. - You're practicing social distancing because your cars are six ft apart (more or less). - You didn't have to sneak people in in the trunk because most charged $20 per car. - You could bring your own snacks but it's so much more fun to order/pay for the stuff with your smartphone and have someone with gloves/mask deliver them to the car … How cool is that? In fact, down in Schertz, TX, EVO Entertainment painted the exterior wall of their movie house with high-grain white paint and converted the parking lot into a temporary drive-in and were sold out … ever y night! And, according to Mitchell Ross, EVO boss, they did "very well" with their kitchen food orders. Remember how great drive -in hot dogs/ hamburgers tasted? Yeah, we thought so. What a great way to get outta the house in a safe environment (your car). You can bet parents never told the kids all the fun they had in the "good ol days." Will drive-ins continue to attract people AC? Probably not as much, but it still holds appeal for those special movie moments when people don't really care what's on the screen or for those who want to relive the before BC world for a couple of hours. Oh yeah! Or as Barley Lightfoot said in Onward, "Put it in O, for onward!" Going back into a dark room with 50 or more strangers won't cut it. Might as well stay home and stream your entertainment.
