I would love to see the demographics of folks who still go to drive-in theaters.
And if the demographic is baby-boomers or older, then drive-ins are doomed because those folks are going to just die.
Hipsters? When the fad of retro-whatever-they-do wears off, that market will dry up.
I had a lot of fun going to the drive-in theater (2 screens, double headers on both) in Abilene, Texas, when I went to college there. That was in the 2002-2006 year range, I'm 29 now; hardly close to pushing up daisies. There's also a multi-screen complex about 30 minutes south of Dallas that I went to some years ago; I want to take my kids, maybe make it a group thing, when the kids get a little older.
Drive-ins are fun experiences, and I think some places let you pay "per car", it can be cheaper for larger groups. You can bring a pick-nick basket of food and save a ton of money.
