The Moonlite Drive-In Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia closed in September 2013 due to the lack of a Digital Cinema Projection system, but WVCB published an article recently that says that the theater has a new owner, and he's trying to reopen the 1949 drive-in this month.
The historical landmark aired its first movie in 1949, but had to close almost 65 years later because of the digital changeover. Now the old treasure is being transformed into its original deco.
"When someone comes that maybe came several years ago they can look and say, 'it looks just like it did when I came here in the 50s or 60s,' Moonlite Owner and President Kyle Blevins said.
Blevins told News 5 it will not just show movies, but concerts, music festivals, car shows, and any type of community event.

The theater's Facebook page has been organizing volunteers to work, and Blevins has a fundraising account setup on a crowd-sourcing site that has a $100,000 goal for replacing the projection equipment and other updates to the property.
