# A Huge New Indoor Drive-In Theatre Is Opening in Nashville

The age of drive-in movie theaters has come and gone, but there's nothing wrong with embracing the obsolete past of in-car movie-viewing. August Moon, a new drive-in facility being developed for Nashville, Tennessee, is attempting to bring a little bit of the 1960s to the twenty-aughts.

The new [40,000-square-foot indoor drive-in](<https://variety.com/2017/biz/news/august-moon-drive-in-nashville-1201976566/>) will have an air-supported dome with a simulated starry sky, a full bar, complete food service with proper '60s American food like burgers and shakes, and even private lounging [areas and room for live music](<https://variety.com/2017/biz/news/august-moon-drive-in-nashville-1201976566/>), *Variety* reports. The theater will reportedly have the largest non-IMAX movie screen in North America and will provide movie-watching seating in its own selection of classic cars. (Sorry, vintage owners—doesn't look like you'll be ably to BYO vehicle inside.)

## August Moon will show a variety of films.

The drive-in will feature new movies as well as classics, and will be set up so that live performers can interact with the audience when movies aren't playing. Tickets will be between $8 and $20 per show.

“Essentially we’re building a soundstage,” Michael Counts, the designer behind August Moon, said to *Variety*. “We’re building a set as if you’re going to shoot an outdoor scene in a movie, on an indoor stage.”

The $10 million facility is slated to open in the second quarter of 2018.
