Walmart Brings the Big Screen to Its Parking Lots Starting August 14

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.

Available for free to Walmart customers, the Walmart Drive-in will transform Walmart parking lots into outdoor cinemas from Aug. 14 through Oct. 21 with 320 showings of hit movies. Starting today at 5 p.m. ET, families can visit 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 during 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 CCO. “The Walmart Drive-in is one small way we’re supporting the communities we serve.”
