And boy have I been getting caught up on my “family films”: this summer alone I have sat through MINIONS, INSIDE OUT and most recently we took the kids to see SHAUN THE SHEEP. Of course we dragged them to the drive-in theater a couple of times while they were here since drive-ins are even scarcer in Canada than they are here. We had our nine-year-old grandson staying with us again this summer and two of my wife’s older children spent a couple of weeks with us during the latter half of August. They have the only drive-in game in town and market themselves as a novelty form of family entertainment. Off-duty police officers provide security and they reserve the right to search your vehicle. The Coyote caters hard to families, running mostly PG family movies. There are three more in North Texas that I am aware of but they are all a considerable driving distance from my house. They are the one, the only, the sole drive-in theater within an hour’s drive of my home. Since they cater to families anxious to share the nostalgia with their kids, the Coyote pretty much only shows “family films”. They opened in 2013 with three screens and business has been so successful for them they have erected a fourth screen in the last year. I’ve written before on this site about the new drive-in theater that has opened near where I live the Coyote just north of downtown Fort Worth.
