Movie theaters across the country remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. In order to help movie-goers get the same big-screen theater experience - while staying socially distant - Walmart has come up with a plan.
Walmart announced in a July 1 press release that the company will transform 160 of its store parking lots into contact-free drive-in movie theaters. Walmart will partner with Tribeca Enterprises for two drive-in experiences., the release said.
The “red carpet experience” will begin in August in towns across the country, for a combined 320 showings. “This family-friendly night will include hit movies, special appearances from filmmakers and celebrities and concessions delivered right to customer vehicles,” the release said.
What’s a drive-in-movie without food?
Walmart has you covered. “Ahead of each screening, Walmart will make it easy for families to fill their picnic baskets by ordering their drive-in essentials online for curbside pickup on the way to their movie,” the press release said.
How long will the tour last, and have locations been announced?
Walmart’s drive-in tour will run through October, the press release said. The company has not yet specified which parking lots will be turned into theaters, but additional details will be announced closer to the start of the tour. More information can be found here: walmartdrive-in.com.

Additionally, the press release noted that Walmart is aware that “parents are in the hot seat to keep summer 2020 sweet for their kids,” so the company has launched Camp by Walmart. Celebrities including Drew Barrymore, Neil Patrick Harris, LeBron James, Idina Menzel and Todd Oldham will act as camp counselors, “leading kids through sessions varying from arts and crafts to fitness and other activities to keep them active and entertained,” the release said.
According to the press release, starting July 8, families can access 50 Camp by Walmart activities for free by visiting the Walmart app. Look for Camp by Walmart in the app’s Services tab from the bottom navigation.
