Cinemas and theaters may reopen their doors in phase 2 (May 25) of the de-escalation announced this Tuesday by Pedro Sánchez. But reducing its capacity to a third. Before the declaration of the state of alarm, the owners of movie theaters already took similar measures. With this measure, which logically affects the viability of the leisure centers themselves, they want to avoid contagion. Spanish drive-in theaters will also return to activity, defining themselves in this context as the safest.

This is the case of the Autocine Madrid Race , which promises "to reopen very soon so that people from Madrid can enjoy cinema and culture as soon as possible without leaving the car." In this tradition, imported from the USA, the spectators come in their vehicles to see a film outdoors. In addition to the Spanish capital, there are drive-in cinemas, especially in summer areas, more prone to these practices due to good weather. In Denia it is in Drive-In, in Mutaxmel (Alicante) the South (the largest in Spain), in Valencia the Star; while in the north are the Gijón Drive-In and Getxo Drive-In (Basque Country). Prices start from three euros .

The Autocine Madrid Race speaks of this model as "the business tailored to coexist with the Covid-19, in which each client can enjoy cinema from their vehicle while respecting social distance. Tuning in the station in their car, watching the film on a giant 250-square-meter screen without the need to come into contact with other people . "

This exhibitor announces that he will return with the projection of classic films like Grease . And it is that in these cinemas old titles are mixed with works from the past, to which his own aesthetics goes back. As reported, tickets have practically sold out for the first sessions. They will otherwise replace the characteristic open-air summer cinemas organized in Madrid and many other Spanish towns.

To minimize risks, the Autocine Madrid Race has implemented some measures. Tickets must be purchased online and validated with a scanner from the car window. Cash will not be accepted. The ushers, who are responsible for distributing the space of the cars, will respect the safety distance between them. Food will be ordered from the car via mobile. Gloves, masks and disinfectant gel will be available at all workstations. Finally, as a token of appreciation, anyone who proves to be a medical staff will have a 50% discount.
