Description:
This company is dedicated to bringing back the Drive-In movie theaters one location at a time. Some automatically look at this venue as a failure, while many others wonder why they went away. But many have not forgotten the joy they were in his/her or their family's lives. There is an opportunity here to revive this part of the movie industry due to economics and the over pricing of movie entertainment in the big box movie theaters and taverns. Currently, Drive-Ins can keep those lower costs, and the rich and the lower middle class can afford this venue while retaining value in the services they receive - cheaper pricing, 2/3 movies for the price of one, real family together time, and concession pricing reasonable to the common consumer verses the $15 to $20 for a soda and a tub of popcorn. My concern is that the movie theaters are going to price themselves out of the market, and everyone will stay home to watch a movie rather than getting out of the house. And when that happens, I believe the prices to watch movies at home or from a red/blue box movie rental will then go up. I believe the movie industry will continue to like to have their 1st run movies out there to keep interest alive in the movies, let people enjoy the feeling of being the first to see a "new" movie, and to keep that revenue coming in. My business is about having the right place for movie lovers to enjoy their flicks as well as their families.
