Drive-ins excited to again screen new films
COREY MCMAKEN | The Journal Gazette
As area drive-in movie theater operators prepare to open venues for the season, they are looking forward to having more new movies to show.
After the pandemic brought Hollywood to a halt last spring, studios pushed back most of their movie release schedule and sent some titles direct to streaming services. That left theater operators with two choices last summer: remain closed after shutdown orders lifted or play older movies almost exclusively.

In January 2020, when Jonah Crismore was interviewing for the position of executive director of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater (BCT), the dimensions of the COVID-19 crisis were only dimly visible. “There were rumblings that things might get bad, but it wasn’t until February, when I accepted the job, that it became apparent how bad the pandemic would be,” Crismore says.
Undaunted, he brought his wife, Amanda, to Bloomington from Fort Wayne, Indiana. “We really wanted to be here,” he says, “and we knew how supportive the community was toward the theater. We’d been going to shows at the BCT since the early 2000s. I couldn’t pass up being part of its story.”
