The Dixie is fortunate to be among those few. This major car company wanted to bring attention to the fact that only about 400 drive-in theaters remain across the entire country. Why the decision to make such a huge investment? The Dixie Twin received tremendous community support in last year’s “Project Drive-In” promotion sponsored by Honda.

This makes for the ultimate outdoor movie experience. They are the first and only drive-in theatre in the Dayton area to feature digital 2K Projection. Now, with digital conversion, the Dixie Twin has become even more of an industry leader. With the addition ofĪ second screen they started treating audiences to 4, first run movie features each evening. Later, the Dixie became famous for offering 2 outdoor movie screens. Originally, it was the hot spot for being the first theater in the area to have one of the largest outdoor viewing screens at 120 feet long and 55 feet high. It’s a matter of keeping the American tradition of drive-ins alive.įor Daytonians, there is a strong tradition of going to drive-ins… especially the Dixie. For a seasonal business, it will take years to recoup these costs but the Dixie Twin believes this investment in the community goes far beyond monetary returns. The overall cost to upgrade from a 35mm film format to a digital format was nearly $200,000. The Dixie Drive-In did it! They purchased not one, but two brand new, state-of-the-art digital movie projectors for their North Dayton drive-in.
