At the moment I am not sure. Haven’t been given any information about the future.
However, I have been tasked with maintaining and test-running the projectors monthly. That does give me a glimmer of hope. Fingers crossed.
Yes. Sadly, the drive-in will be closing next Sunday. We got the word last week.
The swap meet will remain open as it does pretty good business.
From what I gather they plan or hope to maybe open next summer.
Business is not great at the moment. Have only a few big(ish) studio providers (Sony, Lionsgate, A24) which really isn’t enough to bring in the crowds. Not enough family stuff IMO.
Expenses vs returns I’m sure is not good.
We’ll see what the future holds. I enjoy being the projectionist and creating digital cinema packages for the screen these past years.
Guess I’ll be back at the swap meet for the time being.
Nationwide Theatres has always been the one that “signs our checks” so to speak. That hasn’t changed. One change I did notice awhile back in the Paylocity app is the addition of Decurion Management Company (sounds like a downgrade from Corporation. :-) ).
No, the drive-in hasn’t been sold or transferred or anything like that.
We’ve been in the process of removing Pacific Theaters branding where possible. I made new DCPs with Vineland branded feature presentation and coming soon items for the screen.
Downside to all of this is we can’t yet get any good films from the big studios at the moment. Lionsgate, A24 - yeah. Disney, Sony, Warner - nope. Maybe due to the fact Pacific owes everyone.
Cool side note. We rented out the property to Fox recently. One of the trailers to the new season of American Horror Stories shows scenes shot at the Vineland.

Excuse my tardiness. I’m slow to check my emails.
