Listing the pop up theaters this year. Their prices are generally by the carload.

______________________________________________________________
All drive in general rules.
Don't bring in your own food unless you buy a "food permit" from the venue (if available).
Some locations may limit what constitutes a 'carload' if they offer that pricing structure or have a disallowed vehicle types (no limousines for example). This is usually enforced for special events.
Don't bring liquor (unless specified), fireworks, laser pointers, or noise making devices.
