Today, on the sixth of June, all movie lovers can join the celebration of the open-air cinema day, writes UNN.
It was on this day in 1933 that Richard Hollingshead, an ordinary American car sales manager, opened the world's first open-air movie theater in his hometown of Cadman.
Before that, the man experimented for a long time on installing the screen in such a way that it could be seen from anywhere on the site for watching movies.
In August 1932, Hollingshead received a patent for his invention, and less than a month before the opening of the world's first open-air cinema, he secured his exclusive right to open such establishments with a second patent for 17 years.
