Shortly thereafter in June of 1933, he opened his first drive-in which was called the Automobile Movie Theatre. With that he applied for a patent for a drive-in theater in 1932 which was granted in May of 1933. He tried several setup variations before he found what he thought was the right configuration of projector, screen, sound and spacing between cars. He tied a movie screen to some trees and put a radio behind the screen for sound. He got ahold of a movie projector which he placed on the hood of his car. Richard began experimenting with showing movies in the driveway of his home. Richard Hollingshead was movie fan with a connection to the automotive world as he worked at his father's automotive company which was called Whiz Auto Products. The first real drive-in theater was opened by a gentleman named Richard Hollingshead. But those were done in temporary locations such as downtown streets. Before that time, there were attempts at opening "outdoor theaters" and even some "outdoor theaters" where you could watch movies from a car.
The first true drive-in theater (as we know them today) was opened on June 6th, 1933 in Camden, New Jersey. Maybe one of the reasons Drive-in Movies are so much more popular in the United States than in other countries is because the drive-in movie is truly an American invention.
