While a vast majority of the United States' drive-in movie theaters have closed, there are still hundreds that are operating. Indiana has around two dozen drive-in movie theaters scattered around the state in 21 counties. There are five areas in which bordering counties have these iconic theaters. For the future, drive-in theaters have the financial challenge of converting the process of using film to play movies into an all-digital format as the major movie companies support the newer method. The Tri-Way Theater of Plymouth is conducting fundraisers to help cover the costs associated with converting the theater's four projectors to digital. The counties on the map with drive-in theaters are colored in dark blue. Info that helped me make the map is thanks to www.driveinmovie.com/IN.htm. Below is the list of Hoosier counties with drive-in theaters in 3 geographic regions:
Northern: Cass, DeKalb, Huntington, Marshall, Porter, Starke, Wabash, and White
Central: Clinton, Delaware, Henry, Marion, Morgan, Randolph, and Shelby
Southern: Floyd, Lawrence, Monroe, Owen, Ripley, and Spencer
