TAMPA, Fla. – Let’s Go to Walmart and see a movie? Yes, that’s right, Walmart will be turning 160 of their retail store parking lots into Drive-In Movie Theaters beginning in August 2020  and continuing through October 2020. The venture will be in partnership with Tribeca Enterprises, which was co-founded in 2001 by Jane Rosenthal & Robert DeNiro.

“Summer hasn’t really felt like summer yet, and I know I hear every day, ‘Mom, I’m bored!'”Janey Whiteside, chief customer officer, Walmart said.

“Through our digital means and vast footprint of stores, we’re hoping to bring some summer fun to families across the country. We know Walmart plays a role in our communities that extends far beyond getting them necessary supplies, and we see that now more than ever.”

You will even be able to get your favorite food and snacks to munch on while watching the movies, as Walmart will also be offering curbside pickup for the items. 

Locations have not been announced yet, but Walmart has set up a website that will have more information when it’s available. walmartdrivein.com
