CULLMAN, Ala. – Brandi and Seth Powell’s dream of owning a drive-in theater was finally realized this Christmas season. They had nine Christmas movies prepared to show throughout December. Though a couple of the showings were expectedly rained out, the rest of the season saw a great turn out, with three of the films selling out. The Powells plan to start their Throwback Outdoor Cinema back up in the spring. Brandi said, “We would like to offer the screen for rent as well as hosting our own movie nights.” Brandi is in the process of determining pricing for renting the screen. She said different organizations could possibly use the screen to host community events.
The Powells hope to be able to show films weekly beginning in the spring, weather permitting. Brandi and Seth will continue to use the pop-up screen for a while as they test the market; however, if it goes well, they hope to get a permanent location.
