"Drive-ins are a big part of Showcase Cinemas' 80-year history
as the company was one of the first theater chains to introduce and
embrace the drive-in concept throughout the 20th
century," said Mark Malinowski, Vice
President of Global Marketing for Showcase Cinemas. "Therefore, we
are excited to bring our history full circle with this new concept
that sold out its first show in less than 24-hours. This will be
our first step towards reopening Showcase Cinemas with new health
and safety protocols in the coming weeks."
"Patriot Place is thrilled to collaborate with Showcase Cinemas
to kick off the summer season with this special event," said
Brian Earley, Vice President and
General Manager of Patriot Place. "We are excited for our guests to
enjoy this timeless summer tradition with us from the safety of
their vehicles. We are also thankful for the opportunity to give
back to the Foxboro community with
all ticket sales from the 'Raiders' showing benefitting the Foxboro
Food Pantry."
Last month, Showcase Cinemas hosted a "Fan Favorite Showdown"
via its social channels to determine fans' favorite film from 64
contenders across all genres. Paramount Picture's "Indiana Jones:
Raiders of the Lost Ark" earned the most votes on Twitter and the
second most votes on Facebook. Based on those results, Showcase
will screen the original "Raiders," the top-grossing film in the
summer of 1981, as the Pop-up Drive-in's first feature
presentation. Guests will be able to enjoy this time-honored summer
tradition from the comfort of their vehicles while adhering to safe
social-distancing guidelines.
