Common Drive-in Movie Theater Etiquette

  • Arrive Early – Get there with plenty of time to park, grab snacks, and settle in before the movie starts.
  • Know the Theater’s Rules – Check for policies on outside food, pets, and parking arrangements before you go.
  • Turn Off Your Headlights – Once you're parked, shut off your headlights and daytime running lights so you don’t blind other moviegoers.
  • Be Mindful of Your Dome Lights – Keep interior lights off or dimmed when the movie is playing to avoid distractions.
  • Don’t Block Other People’s View – Avoid opening hatchbacks too high or sitting on the roof of your car unless it’s permitted.
  • Be Considerate with Your Car Engine – If you need to run your engine for heat or AC, do it sparingly so you don’t disturb others with noise or exhaust fumes.
  • Limit Moving Around During the Movie – Try to stay in your parking spot as much as possible; frequent walking or car movement can be distracting.
  • Respect Personal Space – If you’re sitting outside your car in chairs or blankets, keep to your designated area and don’t encroach on others.
  • Use the Restroom Quietly – If you need to go, keep noise to a minimum when walking to and from the facilities.
  • Be Mindful of Phone Usage – If you must use your phone, keep the brightness low and avoid loud conversations.
  • Be Courteous When Leaving – Exit slowly and carefully without turning on bright lights until you're away from the viewing area.
