Westwind Concord - Drive In

By the 1980s and 1990s, the drive-in industry faced a severe decline due to the rise of multiplex indoor theaters, VCRs, and real estate development pressures. Many Bay Area drive-ins, such as the famous Concord Avenue Drive-In nearby, were demolished to make way for shopping centers and housing.

While many independent drive-ins closed rather than pay for the upgrade, the Westwind successfully made the transition. This ensured it could continue showing first-run Hollywood blockbusters rather than being relegated to B-movies or classic revivals. westwind concord drive in
