I agree. This is NOT a drive in theater. The screen is way too small and it should be rectangular, not square. Also, about half the cars are parked in ways where they can't see the screen.
This is either a car storage area that had the screen shopped in or someone told an AI "make me a vintage photo of a 1950s drive in," and the AI added the screen and the (badly parked) cars without understanding how a drive in is supposed to work.
You're half right. This is a drive-in theater. It was called the Moonlite Outdoor Theatre and was around long after the 1950s. However this is during the off season, and during the that period it was used by a nearby automaker for vehicle storage. Additionally, drive-in theaters (which still exist btw) don't show films during the day. The first showing is usually at dusk.
