Drive-in theaters in the United States are making a comeback after the coronavirus caused cinemas to close. Because of strict social distancing rules, many people have stayed home for the past several months. For a change of pace, some have started going to drive-in theaters. One drive-in theater owner reported selling out tickets for every show since her theater reopened on May 15.

Drive-in theaters are outdoor theaters with parking spaces, huge screens, and a projector. Customers can enjoy watching movies safely inside their cars. These outdoor theaters peaked in the ‘60s but faded out when technology such as VCRs and cable TV allowed people to watch movies at home.

Thanks to their recent popularity, more and more people are thinking about opening a drive-in theater. According to one drive-in theater owner in New York, people from different states as well as England and Ireland have called to ask him for advice. Also in New York, one diner put a big screen in its parking lot so that customers can watch movies while eating in their cars.
