Questions & Answers (continued):
Every so often, I see a dot—or circle—in the corner of the screen. What is that dot?
Those are synchronizing marks, and there are 2 dots near the end of every film reel. Each reel is 20 minutes of film. In the past, the Projectionist would watch for these dots. After seeing the first dot, he would start Projector 2. After the second dot (7 seconds after the first dot), Projector 2 would be up to speed and take over showing the film. Then, the Projectionist would stop Projector 1, put on another reel of film, and again, watch for the dots!
When do you know what you are playing?
We negotiate with the film studios every week, so usually, we do not know what films we will play until a few days before.
Will I always see 2 movies for the price of 1?
YES! We will always provide 2 current Hollywood hits for the price of $8.00 per person (children under 12 are free!).
How far is it from the projector to the screen?
The 88 Drive-In Theatre's projector is 540 feet away from the screen! That's a powerful projection lamp!
With prices going up on everything, how can you keep your ticket prices so low?
We have fought Hollywood's demand for higher ticket prices, and so far, we are winning! How? Customers—that's how! As long as you keep coming to The 88 Drive-In Theatre, the movie companies will allow us to keep low ticket prices!
Is your theatre owned by some big, faceless corporation?
NO! The 88 Drive-In Theatre is family owned (since 1976), and YES, we do have faces! Come see our smiling faces in the Snack Bar!
