Seems like Barstow would be an ideal spot for a nostalgic theater.
Overall, Im not so sure sitting in your car watching a movie is any better than doing it in a theater. The optics are probably worse, and the audio is likely more difficult to get full effect. Of course, that just means don't show some movies... a drama may not have the same needs as a thriller type movie... That said, if you can get seating and viewing right, it seems like a fun way to watch.
Im sure its all about overinflated revenue targets on movies, and the ability to bolster that with food sales. Much harder to prevent sneaking food into a drive-in.
