Drive-in Movie Theaters Hitting Their Stride Amid Pandemic

In this new age of social distancing, a relic of the past is making a comeback.

Drive-in movie theaters have seen an influx of business amid the coronavirus.

There are 305 drive-in theaters across the country and even with restrictions from local governments closing nonessential businesses, about 8% of drive-ins have been able to stay open.

John Vincent, President of the United Drive-in Theatre Owner Association talked to Cheddar about social distancing measures drive-ins are taking.

“We are going to have to make sure we have space in between cars, at least initially, this summer” said Vincent, noting that social distancing policies could be eased later on.
