Walmart is transforming 160 of its store parking lots into drive-in movie theaters starting next month.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, drive-in theaters have been making a comeback as many theaters have had to close.
Walmart is partnering with Tribeca Enterprises for the films, but they haven't announced where the theaters will pop up or which movie titles will be shown.

Seems a lot of RVs park in Walmart lots, too. Guess they could make it more “official” for RV parking since sales of RVs now are through the roof.

Space Jam and Jaws are mentioned in other articles. The second would definitely be a great draw.

But, only when it's dark, though people can go shopping during the day and stay for a movie.

Isn’t Tribeca a DeNero enterprise?

Great innovation! I always loved drive-ins. Now maybe they are back.

I am sure Walmart Chinese handlers approved of this.

Local RV parks hate the competition and lobby hard for laws that limit it.

No surprise they are in deep financial trouble.

Space Jam and Jaws are mentioned in other articles. Jaws must be the most scary movie I have ever seen. I couldn't even swim in a pool for weeks after watching it.

But, only when it's dark, though people can go shopping during the day and stay for a movie. Or they can go shopping after the movie. Our local Walmart is always open.

Walmart is toast. They will be merging with Amazon before long.
Walmart’s online business is fulfilled by Amazon now.

Well that’s ironic. Back in the day one of the 1st Walmart’s in my town bought up the property my beloved drive in was on...I guess everything is cyclic.
