For some, Friday night at the Getty Drive-In marked the beginning of summer as hundred of cars lined up in front of the big screens for a sold-out opening.
The popular drive in movie theater, 920 E. Summit Ave. in Muskegon, began its season June 5 with new coronavirus precautions in place, including allowing 600 — half the usual number — of cars through its gates.
“It is very exciting to be able to be open, most of our business is indoor theaters which haven’t been able to be open yet,” said J.D. Loeks, owner of Getty Drive-In. “Even though the drive-in represents a small piece of our (Celebration Cinema’s) business it psychologically feels fantastic to be back in business and we are excited to create magical movie memories.”
