New York City: Tribeca Enterprises is partnering with IMAX and AT&T to launch the “Tribeca Drive-In” series. The series will give families a safe way to enjoy over 30 iconic films, comedy acts, and more during the pandemic.
New York will become home to two Tribeca Drive-in Theaters: one at Orchard Beach in the Bronx and the other at Nickerson Beach on Long Island. The theaters will be open every weekend (Thursday through Sunday) from July 9 through Aug. 2.
“At Tribeca’s core, we aim to bring people together through the arts to send a signal of unity and resiliency to the world during challenging times,” said Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Film Festival Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. “As an immediate and safe solution, we’re excited to bring new and classic works from filmmakers, creators, and artists to communities across the country through the Tribeca Drive-In series. As the nation begins to emerge from months of quarantine, we look forward to movie theaters reopening and hope that the Drive-In serves as a reminder of the magic of the moviegoing experience.”
Among the lineup for New York’s drive-ins include:
Music Movies with Selena, The Bodyguard, and Straight Outta Compton
