Cool and all but such a stupid concept. Watching on a phone would make more sense
Edit: regarding screen size. As the screen is so tiny because those fucking cars need so much space. Of course they didnt have OLED 4K 160Hz smartphones back then…
Have you ever been in an outdoors movie theatre without a car? It’s different and great, because you’re truly outside. Also the dimensions are like in normal theatres.
Very similar, and an acceptable if lesser experience.
Being truly outside is misleading and i reject it though. For the last 10 years i rarely spent time in a car while at the drivein. I upgraded from blanket to camping chairs to baggy mcbags to a portable hammock
All set up under the stars. Really cant say enough good things about hammocks.
That all being said ive been single since i was 29 so your results might vary.
But i digress. I was truly outside anytime ive wanted to be for a long time. At the theatre that just closed was a grassy area between the front row and the screen. It was by far the best spot in the whole place to be outside laying on your back without any cars infront of you just the people next to you to disturb you, and if you avoided weekends and able to go on school nights you rarely even had that.
The other good thing about it is you can bring your crying baby or your pets and if there is a problem you have your nice safe car to take care of them or at least prevent them from disturbing others. If you are a respectful.person which in my experience most people have been
Edit: for clarity i do not have pets or children so those things are observations that were appreciated by me

I’ve been going to drivein movie theatre for 40 years. They shut down this year. I’m absolutely crushed by it.
It was such a good experience if you are me. Love being outdoors and also love going to the movies. I grew up on it.
Even all the negatives are part of the experience* that makes it good memories for me
I’m still sad about it
*Didnt notice I autocorrect chose the word recording

Yes. Theatre in the park events.

Yeah why didn’t those idiots in the 1950s just watch it on their phones
No like the space is so huge that calling it “cinema” is strange.
Not sure if there were other reasons not to go outside of the cars and watch on like ⅒ the space
Watching it on a drotary phone back then would’ve required landlines for every viewer. Highly inconvenient.
Yeah, those 1940s kids should have just stayed home by themselves and streamed those movies instead of socializing and making out!
