Drive-In Movie Theaters Booming Back to Life During Pandemic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- The classic American experience of seeing movies at a drive-in theater is seeing a huge resurgence across the country. People who have been locked down in quarantine for months might be itching for an escape, but don’t want to risk being exposed to germs from others they encounter in public. Sharing an experience with a large group is a welcome change of pace for moviegoers, even if they have to remain locked in their cars. We review some essentials to bring with you to the drive-ins. #InsideEdition
This I like returning. I always thought many people missed out on this experience.
Return? Wtf. I love going to these ones in a while
Lawrence Hamilton boooooommmeerr
MooseX Boomer old
I have returned a couple of years ago bcuz of a bby love it
This looks like trash. Ima wait for the actual theaters to reopen. The quality is much better.
"Since you stay in your vehicle": shows people walking in the parking lot and standing behind their cars 😂
Idk why Inside Edition seems to do this every-time. It’s like they have a fetish for contradictions.
I KNOW. I came here to say the very same thing!
@@checkmate9099 LMFAO RIGHT
Lmao ikr XD
They didnt mean that. It was just a wrong report
“Everyone is staying in their car”
Shows 3 people walking around
I know..
This is still so stupid.😤😤😤😤
@@jrdonaldson2053
😂 I guess they can take a popcorn bucket and use the bathroom in the car
@Truce Come
Not really. I always have a popcorn bucket in my car just in case
Imagine calling people stupid for not living in the same state of fear like you.
Me: flashlights a guy kissing his pillow
Man: "Hey man, that's not cool"
😂😂
😂😂😂
classic
LMAOOO
CHILL FROST you revived a childhood memory I forgot I had thank you
Imagine being there and inside editions camera crews lights ruin the movie
Just imagine how crazy people would get if social media gets shut down for a few months..
I'm okay with that because I have no friends
liberals would lose their mind
iopenpacks republicans would grab their shotguns and start a purge lmao
It doesn't matter if you have no friends. No social media probably means no UA-cam...
Everyone would be screaming and running like the zombies of world war z and black summer
6feet apart: the cameraman getting close
Simon • 7 years ago That's what I was thinking lol
Zoom lens on the camera.
Linda Roane no no because the cameraman looks in the car that you can see that it’s not zoomed in
Yeah
@@Simon-xk6mq : I do photography, I guarantee you it's a zoom lens. You can zoom up to someone really close, and be more than twenty feet away.
It feels so good to see people come together as one while staying away from each other
0:51 “hey why is that SUV clapping the movie didn’t end yet”
The Golden Mushroom harder!!!!!
😂😂💀
I was confused for about 2 minutes after reading your comment and I was like "clapping"? oh wait... 😂
🤣
Look at their races too, brown asian girl with tall white guy. you know damn well she gonna slobbing on his knob.
I’ve always really wanted to try the Drive In Theater experience. How is it like?
Large Format Master it’s really fun it’s just a pain in the ass to get in and out of
Your ass will hurt but bring all the snacks you want and pizza and watch out since they come check the cars
My parents used to take me when I was a kid it was wonderful, loved it, you can bring your own food and drinks, be in your pajamas the entire time and no one will judge, it's just a good time, sometimes they would even play a double feature, it was the best.
We used to go when I was a kid. It's best if you have a truck, van, SUV or hatchback. Make up the bed/ back and bring lots of snacks. If you have a regular car, bring camp chairs.
Hotbox while watching a movie always beats those recliner seats at AMC👌👌
This should make a comeback even after the virus is long gone
Let's all hope so.
Anyone else hate the new comment layout?
Yes I hate it.
I keep hitting the X instead of the ⬅️ which is really annoying
@@matthewmiller4865
I know right its very annoying.
Matthew Miller it’s been 3 days for me and I keep doing the same thing.
j swizzle i keep scrolling all down to see the comments and i have to scroll all up again 😂
I'm actually happy to see this! I've always loved the drive in and can't wait for the local one to open back up!
same here, miss them terribly. so lucky to have one in your district :D
saintdavidvilla I miss the old days
You never watched the movie you were just giving head 🍆 how would you know what was going on..
erik ted that’s why they enjoyed going
I said this about 6 months into the Pandemic. It's too bad they were so quick to close down Drive-in Theaters. Movie Theaters couldn't be used due to 30 people all the way to 200+ people all in close proximity of each other. Where as a Drive-in theater your in YOUR CAR, with a cooler, food, snacks, and everything you need right there. It was a perfect way to see a movie during this insane time. Add to that, Drive-in movies were so much fun back in the day. I remember the family loading up the station wagon, heading out to the 41-Twin theater. Then as I grew older, in high school going with friends. Guys sneaking in the trunk, just goofy hijinks. 🤪 It was a memorable time and experience. I know living in the past is "taboo", and while I understand that if your always looking back, you can't see what's in front of or what's ahead of you, it's still fun to enjoy your past, relish memories, and relive past memories.
I'll just stick to Netflix or Hulu
Aurelion Sol no lie lol
Netflix got kinda boring now
TheManInYourBasement101 yeah literally my cousin watched every movie on Netflix
Yeah
Nope u ain’t getting my acc
Hopefully this is one of the positive, long-term effects of the pandemic.
The drive in is the best u can literally bring wat ever food u want
Exactly like u cant even do that at home
@@veyron2848 But can you drive your car into your house and watch tv on a large screen and projector?
Well i guess you can, the project might be pricey and the whole in your wall.
But that wasn't the point of your comment
Yup you can have a all you can eat buffet in the car.
Man its just like the cars disney movie
Fax
Mitsu Myth Pixar
Mitsu Myth Best movie
@RA - 03HM - Alloa PS (1457) me too
Lol that thought has came to me before.
Y'all know they're doing something other than watching a movie 😳
Back in the day we couldn’t even kiss the girl in the theater cause everyone would notice.
And the stranger sitting on the other side of her would win her heart over too.
Hello mama😂😂😂
jasin biggs Then kiss a guy it will be more quiet
Is Lisa Guerrero gonna confront the movie tho?
Nooby boi no but I’ll confront your mom
That phrase is so old
This meme is not only dead but it wasn’t even funny in the first place.
This is so weird to see with modern day cars instead of old cars
I live across the street from there and I always sneak in with my radio. Just sneak in bring sum food and relax
I guess it’s easy to take the drive in for granted when your community and local areas enjoy it every summer. The drive in is something every kid should experience. We have a wonderful drive in close to home and it’s a summer tradition for most. Double features and lots of great movies.
America’s making a comeback boys
My mom was a a little girl in the 70's and she remembers going every weekend! 😊
They have a whole bed in the back of the car. Don’t be surprised if the car starts rocking
I’ve been thinking about this the first few days in when the National Emergency was first declared back in March. Now... it’s a reality!
Drive-ins around the country MUST reopen. We can’t go inside a movie theater for quite a while, so THIS is a good alternative and social distancing can be put to good use here rather than sharing a row of seats with others you don’t know.
I remember my parents taking my brother and I when we were small and it used to be so packed and there was even a playground for the little kids. When I took my boyfriend in January it was so empty and made me so sad to see. I’m happy it’s coming back(:
How can it be safe, everyone knows corona can also transfer on fm radio waves when they listen to the movie sounds...
jerolvilladolid lol imagine if that happens xD
I’m glad i’m not early or anything like that.
Ladd Ttt I would say you’re kind of early how’s it going today
I had a feeling these were going to come back, cool 🙂
That’s my favorite Drive In theater. I only live 15 minutes from it.
I feel like we're going back in time, this year is basically a throwback to everything, in a way
"Its evolving just backwards"
-PewdiePie
Who’s Pewdiepie?
Phew finally a theater that lets u bring snacks
Drive In movie theaters: You couldn’t live your failures
regular theaters
Drive In Movie Theaters: So it brought you back to me
Oh my God when the corona started that’s when I started thinking that they should open driving through movie theaters
Even though I'm not from the 90s, this still feels nostalgic.
@Fallen Smallen Dude, I'm in the comments. I can say whatever I want to. If you don't care about my comment then don't bother replying
If you can, go and check out a drive in, it's so much fun.
Its all fun and games until something like Dead End Drive-In happens
If only! Or Drive-In Massacre... but you've probably got more chance of a peeper coming up to yer window and rippin the heid aff it...
I am so happy of the return of the Drive -In. Can't wait to share this with my kids!!
inside edition is the only thing actually interesting to watch during quarantine
upbeatjester956 no, you’re probably just really bored
No
Nope
Drive in movies always make me smile, They show me a simpler time I wasn't around to see.
I mean good. I love drive-ins. Wish we had some around where I live now. I grew up with one right down the streets and it was always fun to go to.
0:36 that's a hella nice Chevelle
I thought it was a 65 Impala
0:44 "seeing as you stay in your vehicle"
shows people out of their vehicle
I hope all drive through returns! I would love to get around the refreshment center to get my hands on a all beef hotdogs! 😎
it’ll never be the same. back then was so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.
I love the drive in! Who’s with me?
i’ve never been to a drive in movie. i really want to go to one someday. maybe during the pandemic..but we’re moving so we’re busy and don’t have much free time
Theater entrance says "Must stay 6 feet apart!"
While the ticket man touches dudes hand..
Makes sense*
Tony Gunk that’s not close either also has a mask on so yeah np there
Yesssss I remember when I was a child living in California and went to a drive in movie. They need to bring this back. Come on Louisiana y’all slow
I wish I could do that :(
Katy James buy a car and a gf lmao
Isaac castro Buying a gf would be prostitution. That’s nasty af
me rn: *cries in Philippines* i never experienced this lol. This has always been on my bucket list😭
The fortnite kids be like Is ThAt RiSkY rEeLs?
The larger chains should invest in building more driveins. Most of the ones still around aren't that nice because they dont have the money to maintain the property
Lisa G, would've confronted the car that was too loud.
Bhop XXX14 what non of the cares were being loud tho
@@saraswinerton7202 "would've"
The noise isn't coming fron the radio
Just turn up ur radio
Glad to see some of these great venues survive!
This looks so cozy i wanna experience it too.
Me: Doesn't have a car
*CHECKMATE*
U can do it with a bike
Yes. I love the drive-inn. I am glad it is making a come back.
Damn never been so early.
“And since you stay in your car” shows everyone outside their car walking around
the ones who tell people to stay home can stay home. The ones that wanna go out to a drive in theater can go out and not be a total sheep and be totally controlled by whatever the government/media is telling us
@Logan Myers hes also tryna say that covid-19 is fake. Just cuz his people havent been affected....
That's awesome!!! I hope they do that here in Montana, I loved going to drive in movie theaters
The Tiki Drive In was recently demolished 😢
D:
the return of the classics
The cars they interviewed just happened to be those annoying one who put up their hatchback against house rules and blocking the view of people behind them.
They could have been in the back
I've always wanted to go to a drive in movie theater, ever since I was a little kid.
I go every year with my friends at the end of the school year.
Smokie ayeeee same
Back when Drive In Theaters were opened, you had to be pretty close to the screen in order for you to easily hear it but now with Bluetooth, you can hear the movie much better
not really, in the old days the parking spots in the theater had a stand that held a moveable speaker box connected with a cord with a volume control knob, you would hang the speaker inside the car on the edge of the roll-up door window on the driver's or passenger's side and you had no problems hearing the movie soundtrack although it was always in mono. the only outdoor speakers were the ones mounted outside the snack bar/projector building which were usually not turned up very loud. no speakers up near the screen.
Why the hell would I do that when there’s bugs outside

“No contact with other people”
The dude directing the cars shakes hand with someone
“Just like watching a movie at home “ why don’t you just watch one at home

The thrill of getting caught in public is far greater
I was watching an LL Cool J video and it showed a drive-in theater. It brought back a memory, vaguely. I vaguely remember going to one when I was little. I believe it was at the _Cow Palace._
The whole point is to STAY IN YOUR CAR
Idle cars can become hot fast. No one is going to catch the virus simply by leaving their car 🤦🏾♀️
@@tylerhandsome7344 I think it's better to be safe than sorry. :v

"Like this scene in the movie Greece"
I think its funny the way they try to compare everything to a old movie 😂🍿
Josh Moody it’s “Grease” bro not “Greece”
Cool
I hope it comes back, I miss the drive thru. No other place like it.
This is one of the smartest things to happen in 2020
In a town near mine, they had a drive in theater and they were gonna pass Back To The Future but I missed it :(
Does anyone think AMC should invest in Drive-Ins?
when you’re high school graduation gonna be at a drive in... I wish I was joking
I thought the lady said at the beginning "Its the return of the Jedi"...
I wish there was a drive in theater in Suffolk VA
Just Google Drive In theaters in Virginia and there might be one near you.
We going to to about how they just ratted out two girls bringing food in.
🤣
I work at one, you’re allowed to bring any food you want to.
Cece Alvarado yo what? At the near me if they find you with food you brought in you get kicked out’
Iconic. These have died off again by now in 2023 but they were so important and such a huge part of US culture.
Damn i wish these were around when i was driving the days when I wasn’t handicapped
What do you mean by handicapped if I may ask?
@@melviness4769 Its person with disabilities like being blind/deaf/handicap or cant walk
He means he has no legs hes on a wheelchair i think
To this day, I still remember going to the drive in 10 minutes away from home in so cal where we'd attach wires to the antena, crank on the radio, and watch a double feature. The first time I was ever able to stay up all the way through was going and watching Balto and Hunchback of Notre Dame, and I loved it even to this day.
So your telling me they can’t stay home and watch netflix
StateRock u can stay home 😏 with your fear and let people enjoy time out if it’s open for a reason
joshua morales for what reason, tell me one. Its not fear and more about my responsibility to use my rights appropriately. Maybe stop hanging/believing every word fox new tells you and a president with no doctors degree.
Yes because Americans don't understand what the word quarantine means
@@joshuamorales1180 hmmmm I wonder why your country has nearly 50% of the virus, all just in your one country. Because of idiots like you
-_-_-_ i agree many in the u.s dont know what quarantine means. But i dont believe the %50 of the virus is in the u.s. Russia and china have been hiding their actual death rates and infection rates. Central American countries dont have the resources to get their actual d/r and i/r. But whats happening in the u.s shouldnt be happening as a 1st world country. Mostly fueled and encouraged by the president.
I remember this as a kid in the early 90's. 🙂
Why did they call the movie “Grease”, it’s “The Outsiders” lmao
Nah the movie is Grease. it came before the outsiders
Uuum...Because the movie WAS grease foooo lmfao
I hope to see more drive in theaters and hope to go to one myself :D
The past is the future
In more ways the one buddy
I was at that drive-in theater in December 2020 it was really fun, sad that it closed down last year.
"Its just like watching a movie at home!" ...so why not just watch a movie at home?
Torin?
Terry Terry it’s nice to go out, nostalgia?
The experience
If you’ve seen a lot at drive ins you know nothings worse than when someone shines their headlights on the screen or starts their loud engine during an intense moment.
never been early in my life
I live in Door County Wisconsin... Home to one of only 3 drive in movie theaters in the USA still operating since the 50s. They even still play those old cartoon commercials that urge you to go to the snack bar. I've been going every summer since I was a kid and I love it. 2 movies for the price of one and the cheapest movie theater snacks you will ever find. It's so much fun to take my kids there now.... They always have a blast.
I mean shouldn’t everyone be tired of watching movies at this point?? All the Netflix and Hulu
Good point lmao 😂
What if they stream movies not on Netflix or hulu?
We have one 15 minutes away from my place. We love it. Hopefully this year we'll be able to use it 😔
When you're soo god damn early but you have anything good to say :(
