Help Us To Survive Digital Conversion!

Come Hungry & Have Dinner With Us Too!!

It is predicted that within the next year we will be forced to make the conversion to digital projection equipment here at the Elm Road Triple Drive-In Theatre. The digital conversion is the most significant advancement of technology in the movie industry since the introduction of audio soundtracks in the mid 1920’s.   Just as the introduction of “talkies” led to the end of the “silent” movie era, digital projection technology will mean the end of 35mm film. This will be an enormous expense for us, especially given the fact that we are only a seasonal business. If we are to survive this transition, we need your support in our concession stand, now more than ever! Strong concession sales are the only means of financing this huge capital investment. It is expected that more than half of the remaining 366 drive-in theatres in the U.S. will be forced to close their doors……..that would mean less than 200 surviving drive-ins, of an industry that was once more than 4,000 theatres strong.  We ask that you do not bring outside food or beverages into this drive-in, but rather show your support & patronize our concession stand.

For over 60 years, we have endured through thick & thin as the ONLY ORIGINAL family-owned & operated drive-in theatre in the tri-county area! However, we will not survive this technological upgrade without your strong support in 2012. We strive to keep this lasting piece of Americana on the map in Warren, Ohio, & we hope that you will help us endure this coming transition.

Thank you for your support!!
