Autocines operates Europe's largest drive-in cinema in Madrid, a 25,000+ m² leisure and events venue combining outdoor film screenings, an American-style diner/food-truck area, and covered spaces (e.g. "The Lenovo GARAGE") for concerts, festivals, corporate events and weddings. Founded in Madrid in 2015-2016, it later expanded to Málaga (since sold) and pursued a franchise strategy; revenues have exceeded €5-8M/year.
