Grab your popcorn! Walmart is lifting the curtain on plans for the Walmart Drive-in, a drive-in movie theater experience, which is rolling into 160 Walmart stores across the country beginning this month, created in partnership with the Tribeca Film Festival.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200805005617/en/

Available for free to Walmart customers, the Walmart Drive-in will transform Walmart parking lots into outdoor cinemas from August 14 through October 21 with 320 showings of hit movies. Starting today at 5:00 p.m. ET, families can visit www.TheWalmartDriveIn.com to discover dates, store locations and the movies for each stop of the movie tour.

"We recognize the challenges our customers and their families have faced over the last few months and we wanted to create an experience where they could come together safely to create new memories," said Janey Whiteside, Walmart’s Chief Customer Officer. "The Walmart Drive-in is one small way we’re supporting the communities we serve."

Tribecca?

Snort.

No thanks.

Wonder if this is really a way to throw some money De Niro’s way.

And did Wally booted RVs for this?

Prefer the theater as well and putting aside the political issues regarding the virus, it’s still a nice gesture from the Wal-Mart corporate entity to the community....

You can do that from the comfort of your own home without having to worry about a trip to the biohazard that is a Wally restroom.

Actually we don’t disagree.....
I own a small brick and mortar that has been severely hurt....
Wal-Mart and other large retailers have a larger voice at the political table.... they leveraged it.... good for them....the fault lies with the politicians....
On the flip side, without the large chain grocery chains opening, the supply chain of critical goods to the American people would have been gone.

The drive-in movie theatre of my youth was torn down about 20 years ago for a shopping center. These days, I would much rather watch a movie from the comfort of my home, with a private bathroom a few steps away and a refrigerator close by.

Thanks for brightening my morning. She is just gorgeous.

Women can be quite beautiful without being naked.

You’re welcome, and agreed.

I think porn has destroyed many a brain.
Throw lack of religion and social media into the mix, and you have a nasty combination.
