So, Walmart stores will be open for shoppers while there is a movie playing simultaneously, and shoppers and moviegoers will share the parking lot? Sounds like a cluster frick.

Big mall near me has already done this

Drove by during the day and they had two huge screens across from each other so you park facing one of them

It was during the day and they were just playing what appeared to be some sports game or replay of one I could not see but do movies at nights

Was pretty busy for randomly playing nothing in the day

So based on the.actions of Walmart, the timeline and expense involved, it’s pretty clear things will not be opening back up soon.

They must know something we aren’t being told.

The average person would be shocked at how many crimes start, involve, or end at a Walmart. It is crazy.

How big are the screens? Can’t imagine this would be a very good viewing experience
Sit in your car in a hot Walmart parking lot and watch movies on your
iPhone that hitting that Walmart guest wifi at almost 2 kilobytes a second. Sounds wonderful.

Not a terrible idea. Why didn’t the movie theaters do it? They have big parking lots. Poor cart pushers are going to be picking up trash all night long.

9:00 at night in South Louisiana and the temp will still be in the high 80s with all the humidity. No way many will sit in a stupid hot blacktop parking lot with their windows down.

The Baws will be idling their diesel F250s, the Impalas will be rattling windows and the cops will get 15 calls a night. Good times Saturday night!
