> I don't think the article actually has any evidence to support there IS a "surge in drive-ins around the country". Well there probably is. But drive-ins at this point are incredibly rare. When I was a kid, many decades ago, it was already past the golden age of the drive-in and the few remaining holdouts were in the process of folding. Some tenacious holdouts made it. A few closed theatres reopened. https://www.driveinmovie.com/united-states https://www.driveinmovie.com/united-states > Currently, there are about 325 Drive-in Movie Theaters still operating in the United States. There are many more that are permanently closed but still remain standing and could potentially be re-opened at some point in the future. In fact, there have been several drive-in theaters that have been re-opened the past couple of years after sitting dark for 20 and even 30 years. So 325 maybe wasn't even the nadir as many have reopened and I doubt as many have been built anew. It's not a lot of theatres on the national scale.
