Metro Vancouver’s last drive-in movie theatre [Twilight Drive-In] to close after 2024 season

That's very sad. I wish someone would come along and revitalize the drive-in theatre experience. As we move away from ICE cars, there's no reason why EVs can't attend this experience. It just needs to be a bigger and better experience.

I'm not sure if the business model ever really works in a place where land is in demand. Drive-in movie theaters, like bowling alleys and drive thrus, are highly inefficient uses of space and only become profitable when things are far apart and land is cheap.

Really sad to hear. I have never been to one before. I guess I’ll have to see one soon then.

I grew up in Smithers. We had one. But it was closed before I was born, always drove past it, the huge screen was back facing, in terrible condition for 10 years

Aw, that's awful news. My kids are just getting old enough to be able to go and sit through a movie... Was looking forward to taking them. Maybe we can manage once before they close.

Hard to find a big space that some corporate schmuck isn't going to try and flip for a big development though.
