Anyone who grew up in a small town knows that Walmart is the best place to go to beat boredom, but now families can head there after dark for a new take on an old classic.

More than 160 Walmart parking lots will be transformed into drive-in movie theaters at various times from Aug. 14 to Oct. 21. Families can register online for free starting today at 5 p.m. EDT at thewalmartdrivein.com to get access to the silver screen from the safety of their vehicle.

Movies featured will be family-friendly classics and include inspiring sports stories, blockbuster franchises, sci-fi adventures, nostalgic faves, and so much more. Some of the stand-out titles are Space Jam, Black Panther, Spy Kids, Back to the Future, The Iron Giant, and Wonder Woman. Before each movie families will be able to catch a short film.

Drew Barrymore will be the virtual host each night and make an in-person appearance at one location. Families can also be on the lookout for Peter Berg, Jennifer Garner, LeBron James, or Chrissy Metz at select showings either virtually or IRL.

As a kid, Nicole either wanted to be a professional toy player-wither or a writer. Somehow, as social media editor for The Toy Insider, The Toy Book, and The Pop Insider, she’s found a career as both. She's grateful to work somewhere that she can fully embrace both her love of teddy bears and her admiration for the Oxford comma. When she's not playing with toys at work, she's playing with her baby girl at home.
