Well-known for allowing free overnight RV parking in its parking lots, Walmart is now converting 160 of those parking lots into free drive-in theatres.
“This pop-up event is touring the country and visiting 160 Walmart Supercenter locations. Gates open at 6:00pm and the film begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are free, but must be requested in advance.”
The films to be shown from August 5 through October 21, 2020 are:
- Black Panther
- Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
- Wonder Woman
- Friday Night Lights
- Spy Kids
- Space Jam
- Ghostbusters
- E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
- The Wizard of Oz
My take: It appears that people are dying for a night out, as ALL of the dates are SOLD OUT! I say “sold out” but remember all the spots are free. I wonder how many of these screenings will be shut down by local authorities if they exceed the maximum number of congregants for group gatherings.
