Organisers have picked six preliminary dates to open the gates between October and April 2020.

They cited customer feedback for the hiatus in the movies that have been showing about one weekend a month since October.

The Westview, understood to be one of only three drive-ins remaining in operation in NSW, was revived in recent times more than 30 years after its closure in 1984.

"We wanted to have the drive-in open when families are comfortable and want to be outdoors and we sort of noticed ourselves that it was really cold during winter and our crowd numbers started to drop off," a Dubbo Westview Drive-in spokesman said.

"We've basically been quite upfront from the start, that we'd have it open whilever we had people coming through the gates and we thought to give it its best chance, we'd close it up over those bitterly cold months and re-open once its more comfortable."

Organisers report deciding "less is more" and will be focusing on "putting on six amazing events" for patrons.

"[We're going to] get back in touch with the community and find out what the community wants to see at the drive-in," the spokesman said.

"And probably have, instead of it just being a movie, have an event that has a movie with it, so it's more than just a movie, that it brings people for other reasons."

One of this year's successes was a partnership with Dubbo Cars and Coffee to screen American Graffiti.

"Yes, that was a major attraction and we really would like to work with a combined car club from across the area, because that was supported by towns from right across NSW and people travelled from interstate to come to it as well," the spokesman said.

"So we are working with some of the car clubs to make that a bigger event."

They were working on catering to "all markets".

The organisers thanked the volunteers involved.

"It's been a big effort from the whole community, so we hope that in the future people get behind it and we'll stay as long as they want to keep coming," he said.
