A drive-in movie theater in Montana is back in business after getting conflicting messages from officials about whether it could operate under newly relaxed restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The owner of the Amusement Park Drive-In Theatre in Montana is happy to be back in business, after getting conflicting messages from officials about whether the drive-in is allowed to operate under newly relaxed restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The Governor's office just called and said this whole thing was a mistake, that he always wanted drive-in theatres open and they missed that line in the directive that said drive-in theatres," Cooke wrote on the drive-in's."We now have the Governor's authorization to STAY OPEN!! Come watch a movie under the stars tonight."

Cooke had become frustrated after he was initially told his drive-in could begin operating this week — only to then see local and state officials reverse that stance.

Silver Bow Drive-In needs to open too! Perfect for social distancing.

I would think sitting in a car is better than packed inside a theater.

IT SHOULD BE OPEN, ITS NOT LIKE THE CAR IS GONNA COUGH ON THE OTHER CAR AND GET IT SICK.....!!!

I miss drive-in theaters, all the ones where i've lived have long since been closed down. quite the shame.

There should be no concessions. Interpret that at will.

Didn't even know they were any drive-in movies left

1st off city is a very big word for Billings, if you count the USAF base Great Falls may be bigger and i think a drive-in sounds safer than the barbers or a massage parlor. Maybe they are the wave of the future ,if shit keeps going to hell.
