Only one drive-in left in the Sydney area.

I remember seeing a number of films at the drive-in as a young child. Including Jaws, King Cobra, The Sword and the Stone, Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc. Last film I saw at the drive-in was the third Exorcist film. Haven't been in years :(

Last movie I've seen on drive in movie screen was X-Men... We used to have 2 where I live both have since closed down... There was one in Milwaukee that we used to be in 20 minute lines just to get to one of the theatre screens.... It was huge... They were always packed on the weekends

wonder why they shut down??

I saw the original "The Hills Have Eyes" at a drive-in. It really added to the creepiness of the movie. It's a shame they aren't around much anymore.

They only generate revenue during the dark hours; and the revenue they generate is limited. These were products of an easier economy.

I understand that part of revenue aspect... But I guess if your only open 15 hours a week on weekends while it is dark and you have 20 acres of prime real estate to run movies... Big business will come in and offer you enough money to shut down in a heart beat.
