Are Drive-Ins Making a Comeback?

Posted on by


It’s no secret that I love drive-in theaters.  Most people my age, do… or did.  I say did because there aren’t many left [drive-ins, not people my age].

The fact that there aren’t many drive-ins around these days is no surprise.  The year I was born, 1958, was the peak for drive-in theaters in the United States.  Since then, drive-ins have been on the decline.  But, believe it or not, a little over 350 drive-in theaters are still hanging in there.

The real surprising news is that some of these remaining drive-in theaters are upgrading to digital technology.  Could this be the start of a comeback?

My guess is no.  But I’d love it if I was wrong.
