- A Movie Night Out in the time of Social Distancing Click for Your Local Premiere Office Phone Number A Movie Night Out in the time of Social Distancing Brad Smith • June 9, 2020 Movies have changed due to the Covid-19, here's what we are doing about it. The coronavirus pandemic has flipped our lives completely and because it was unprecedented, a lot of us have had to resort to a lifestyle we were unaccustomed to. Since it is a ‘novel’ virus and quite deadly too, we have to social distance ourselves from everyone for safety. This has led to the closure of workplaces, schools as well as movie theaters across the country. Some big blockbusters such as Marvel Studio’s Black Widow and MGM’s James Bond Film was expected to release but given the situation, they have been postponed. While we’ve been consuming movies through streaming services during the lockdown period, nothing beats the experience of a big screen. Drive-in theaters had faded in popularity but are experiencing a spike in numbers as people are desperate to get out of the house while following social distancing rules. Get Out Of The House With Drive-in Movies Getting out of the house is a way for people to feel normal and as they look for activities to keep themselves busy. Drive-in movies are an excellent choice for a night-out. A number of drive-in movie owners have reported getting interest from new customers who had never heard of their services before. Since everyone is in their own car at drive-in movies, the owners are looking to show movies during the day time as well. They are testing with LED screens and working towards the re-birth of the whole concept. Being able to show movies round the clock will also help them replenish the income they lost and keep the customers coming in. Premiere Outdoor Movie Is Still Open Although most drive-in theaters remain closed in the country due to the outbreak of coronavirus, a small minority has been able to benefit from it. Most drive-ins in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Maryland have been forced to shut down in the present circumstances. These theaters survive on concessions and even though they are a better choice than their indoor counterparts, there is so much they can do without the release of new movies. Of course, the pandemic will end at some point but we still don’t know when it will happen. Once all businesses resume, we are sure there will be a huge chunk of people who will be hesitant to return to crowded places including auditoriums with lots of people. In such a scenario, drive-ins are a good-old way to watch movies on the big screen. The movie theaters are expected to be shut for the rest of the summer, however, big studios releasing the most anticipated movies of 2020 will be beneficial for drive-ins and revive the business like nothing else. If the idea of going to drive-in appeals to you but you are scared, you shouldn’t be. Keep in mind that the drive-in has been created to ensure that you’re not in contact with other people and social distancing rules are maintained.
