The drive-in tour is set to begin in August and will run through October. Walmart said additional details will be announced closer to the start of the tour.
“The Tribeca Drive-In is much more than a fun, retro way to see movies — it’s one of the safest ways for communities to gather,” said Jane Rosenthal, CEO and co-founder of Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Film Festival.

2. This is odd because ...

the location of one of the big Walmart supercenters in Knoxville used to be the location of a big drive-in theater back in the 1970's. Its present parking lot is the same area where people parked their cars back then to watch the movies.
