Good news for drive-in theater fans. The restaurant chain Johnny Rockets is partnering with USA Drive-ins, LLC (located in Franklin, Indiana) to build and operate 200 brand new drive in theaters over the next 4 years!

Here is a link to the news story:

The theaters will feature strictly family friendly movies and will have traditional double features!

I think they'll be all running video projection.

The story did not mention the number of screens at these new theaters. I'd be surprised if they built all single screen theaters and not multiple screens.
