Walmart to convert 160 store parking lots into drive-in theaters

Walmart to make 160 store parking lots into drive-in theaters
LINK
Walmart is transforming 160 of its store parking lots around the country into drive-in movie theaters starting this August, as many theaters remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The block store giant is teaming up with Tribeca Enterprises for the endeavor.
"Drive-Ins have been a signature program for Tribeca since we started the Tribeca Film Festival 19 years ago after 9/11,” Jane Rosenthal, CEO and co-founder of Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Film Festival said in a statement Wednesday.
"But now, the Tribeca Drive-In is much more than a fun, retro way to see movies — it’s one of the safest ways for communities to gather. We are thrilled to partner with Walmart to bring more people together around the shared cinematic experiences that Tribeca is known for."
The move comes as several summer movies, including the live action "Mulan" and the next James Bond installment, "No Time to Die" have had their release date pushed back due to COVID-19 concerns.
Cinemark theaters announced at the end of June that the company would be opening its theaters at the end of July. The announcement came as the U.S. is experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases in large Southern and South Western states like Georgia, Florida, Texas and Arizona.
Walmart's drive-ins will start in August, and will run through October.

Because I’m sure absolutely nothing will go wrong in a Walmart parking lot

Great. Actively trying to frick up parking at those shitholes worse than it already is.

And they will have 5 little ticket booths set up, but only one will be open while 10 employees stand around fricking off.

The walton family is probably the most gracious "rich" family in the country.
Shameful how much hate they get.
I love this endeavor.

They’ll probably only show Tyler Perry movies

I think it’s actually a good idea. I think drive ins could make a comeback if it’s done in the right locations.

The amount of used diapers in those parking lots is going to increase exponentially

Will all the movies be made in China?

They should be, considering Walmart is almost solely responsible for the death of small town mom and pop stores across the country.
I do like that they seem to be giving more money to education and arts/music than donating billions to add another wing to the football fieldhouse or whatever.

You will have plenty of masks on the ground to help with the smell, though. Gloves, too.

I can’t think of a Walmart in an area where I’d like to sit trapped in my car with no exit

I'm starting to think that you're just a higher class Kige Ramsey.

It won’t be as fun for people to talk, use their phones, and ruin others’ moviegoing experiences though.

Agreed. Husbands will sit in the car while wife shops for groceries. Of course she will need to pace herself to last the length of the movie and to be sure to get all the cold items last.

Nah, I got a Theatre at the house.

How big are the screens? Can’t imagine this would be a very good viewing experience
