Are Drive-In Movie Theaters Making a Comeback ? ...

[Rovin]

i seeing some stories of this online , its due to covid19

ppl want to get out of d house to see movies on a big screen but obviously fraid of catching covid19 in a enclosed movie theater so drive ins gaining momentum & actually pulling a lil crowd in d usa

is going back to drive ins a temporary fad, will it last if covid eventually passes & will it work locally ? ...

[sMASH]

not my cup of tea. prefer to sprawl out home.

[sMASH]

although it might be cool the authorities and the 3cxc crew will have hissy fits for it. dem will find no social activity could be done, no matter all the social distancing being done.

[Blaze d Chalice]

Not after all the money they spend on the CCs and Movietowns.

And ent they just mash dung Kaydonna.

This on the other hand. me em know nah,

i guessing its a passing novelty fad cause for d time being maybe next 6 mths at least cause ppl wud be frighten to go back into a movie theater once covid still around & there is no cure or preventative vaccine

businessmen in d usa who have d $$$ to spare wud try ah ting with d drive ins , even if u own d compound it wud still be a sizeable investment but i really cant see it lasting long ... i doubt any local businessman might try it

have to ask urself why did drive ins die out in d 1st place , with todays technology watching a movie when u feel like it is as easy as typing it on ur phone whereever u are once u have wifi or data or on electronic devices in d comfort of ur home ...

so yuh would need some empty land, a projector, speakers (or FM broadcast to car radio) and a waterproof screen

return on investment all depends on what movies being released in the next few months- if it was like a Marvel movie or some other big anticipated movie then it might make sense, but most big movies might have been postponed to next year.

but kaydonna would be making money this year if they still existed as they would be getting d MT and CC8 crowds

[pugboy]

nope, if rohani really getting $200m cash for the land

how long will it take to setup a drive in and make those profits ?

[supercharged turbo]

If you can get a special price for one car load like in Kaydonna, sure. Ppl who doh have money to go Movietowne due to the covid caused economic slump might go.

Hello redmanjp,

Boi sitting next to them is worse. The poor hygiene, inconsiderate voice levels, wildness, annoying chew noises (misophonia) and the littering.

Gotta love home theater systems.

It seems none of the proposed mobile / popup drive in cinemas that were advertising have been able operate so far.
From what I understand, exhibitors and cinema licenses from the Ministry are required and then movies will have to acquired from the various local movie distributors. It would be illegal to just show a movie off of a flash drive or DVD/Bluray without those permissions and payment to the distributors.
I think once that hurdle gets past, Drive In cinemas in T&T can make a comeback.

[pugboy]

well the obvious thing is for existing operators to offer drive in

how did they do it years back when some local film group had a screening of Senna in an office building in Fernandes compound? I can't remember if they charged a fee or not tho

[aaron17]
