That retro thing reminds me of this modern incarnation. I've never seen either with my own eyes unfortunately.

For more pictures of the vintage mobile cinema, check out this page. I'm not sure if this is the same or one of those other seven.

There was a company from Mexico or Central America with a mobile cinema set up at Showest years ago, it was a 53ft trailer with pop-out sides that sat something like 40-50, it used a platter and 35mm film and had unisex restroom and small concession stand built in with a gen set mounted on the towing vehicle! It was well made, ADA accessible and if I remember it was priced around $90K

That is seriously awesome.

Hopefully it ends up in the hands of a proper museum.
