Is Tesla Going Into the Drive-In Business?

In this week’s episode of the Boxoffice Podcast, cohosts Daniel Loria and Rebecca Pahle discuss the lowest-grossing week since September 2023, including a run-down of the films that received the coveted “Oscar bump” after being nominated last week. The pair then discuss rumors that car manufacturer Tesla is getting into the drive-in business in Los Angeles.
