As diners and baseball cards, few things scream Americana More Than a drive-in movie theaters. But in the UK, films from the passenger seat of The Car never really out of First Gear . Could the easing of closure restrictions mean outdoor Cinema finally gets its day on This Side of The Pond ?

Eight weeks, Drive In movies that don't exist. It was the brainchild of married couple, Ian and Roseanne Marriott, and so confident that it would take were you to have invested £25,000 in your plan.

"I've been furloughed from work that I normally do, and we thought, what else could I do to support The Family ?", Ian, who has worked says in the broadcast and entertainment industry.

"We thought it fits with my skills and my background, drive-in cinemas. So we asked and it went from an idea becomes real very quickly. "

While not a completely new concept in the UK, It is not the Land of the changing weather conditions, which were stopped on the agenda, But the lack of a reasonable profit margin, says Danny Banthorpe, Director of the Norwich-based pop-up images.

"We are already in the past five years," he says. "We have a drive-in in our first year and we have probably done about half a dozen since.

"We have done Halloween and Christmas drive-ins, and we get visitors in the autumn and winter. So weather is not a Problem, Because you in the comfort of your own car.

"But in a nut shell, it is not viable, that is why there are not many of them. "

He Said licensing of films was the largest expense at 40% of the revenues. Then the cost of the screen, if you want to in front of comes to cars, it must be big, and big means expensive.

And with the space you would use for 100 cars, and you could the Cinema 500 people in front of a movie screen in a brick-and-mortal.

"Just the simple math," said the 46-year-old. "Five hundred times of 15 € Per movie, in contrast to 100 times £20. Your sales heights with the sit-down versions. "

But The Company questions whether this could be the year, in the drive-in-shows are more viable, and it is planned to be a series of shows.

"Like I said, they were not viable - But we absolutely adore it. "

You might think, given The Number of US air bases dotted around England, the drive-in Cinema could have found a home in this mini-bastions of American Life .
