Drive-In Theaters
The first Drive-In Theater was opened on June 6, 1933, by Richard Hollingshead, who was a car and movies enthusiast. This was located in Camden, New Jersey and cost 25 cents per person, plus 25 cents for the car.
He ironed out the technical challenges, perfecting the parking, sound and screen arrangements for a decent movie experience for people sitting in their own cars. The initial investment in this novelty entertainment option was $30,000.
