When Life Gives You Lemons...

I like this idea, it's creative:
Two of the most classic pieces of Americana are coming together this summer: drive-in theaters and Walmart.

Beginning in August, the retailer is converting 160 of its US store parking lots into drive-in movie theaters. As the pandemic continues, drive-in theaters have been making a comeback as a safe alternative to the traditional movie theaters that remain closed in much of the country.

Walmart (WMT) is partnering with Tribeca Enterprises, the Robert De Niro-backed media company, to program the films. Locations and movie titles haven't yet been announced, but they will be revealed later on a special website. The event will run through October and encompass more than 300 showings.
Perhaps they could show the anti-racist Blazing Saddles, or perhaps the first movie in which a black American won an Academy Award, Gone With The Wind.  After all, both films were chosen by the Library of Congress and were selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

But I doubt they will.
