Cars will enter off North Carroll Avenue and be ushered to a 10-foot by 15-foot parking space, 10 feet away from other vehicles. Viewers must watch the film from within their vehicle, truck bed or hatchback. Lawn chairs and other outside seating are not allowed.

Customers can bring their own food and drink, but concessions from drive-in company Rooftop Cinema Club or on-site food truck are also available. Orders are made online and can be picked up at an appointed time.

Masks and social distancing are required outside the vehicle.

There will be two screenings a night, seven days a week. Family friendly films, such as “The Little Mermaid” or “Shrek,” will play first, followed by a mix of classics, musicals and horror movies.

Tickets for the 8 p.m. showing are $28 or $35 per vehicle, regardless of occupancy. Tickets for the 11 p.m. showing are $22 or $28 Sunday through Thursday and $28 or $35 Friday and Saturday. A more expensive ticket gets viewers a parking spot closer to the screen.
